Trump Demonstrates What ‘Dictator’ Means, by Being One

Can the President demolish or remodel the White House?

Technically, no.

The White House doesn T belong to the President.

It s Federal Property managed, by the National Park Service.

And maintained by Taxpayer money.

So, while the President can pick the furniture, colors or decorations, any major changes like tearing down walls or rebuilding, require Congresssional Approval and Federal Funding, according to the White House Historic Association and the National Park Service. 

The last time that happened was during Harry Truman s Presidency, when the building was literally falling apart. Congress approved A full reconstruction in the late 1940 s.

But there s [now] the twist.

Under President Trump, a $ 200 to $ 250 million Ballroom addition to the East Wing is underway and 90,000 square-foot Expansion.

The Administration says the work can proceed because its privately funded [though private funding is illegal because it “Requires Congressional Approval and Federal Funding”?].

The Head of the National Capital Planning Commission appointed by Trump has said the Demolition and side prep don T need A Commission Approval since the Jurisdiction covers only Vertical Construction.

But critics argue that still violates Federal Preservation Rules, since the White House is A National Historic Landmark.

Federal Law requires that Major Renovations follow Preservation Standards set by the National Historic Preservation Act, and oversight by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

So, even if it s Privately Funded, it raises the Question,

Can any President really make changes to the People s House?

Does A sitting President have that kind of Power?

Whereas Biden said “I am Running the World,” Trump said “I Run the Country and the World.”

If he runs the country, he is A Dictator.

If he runs the world, he is the first ever Global Dictator.

This problem is much bigger than just whether Trump is breaking the Law regarding the WhIte House, because A Dictator has much more Power than just that. Furthermore, if the Law itself has been written by Agents of Billionaires, instead of by Agents of the Public, then the Public are totally trapped.

George W Bush said “Either You re With Us, or You re Against Us”  he Threateningly said to any Government that would NOT Subordinate Themselves to “Stand Quarely Wit, the United States in the Defense of ‘Freedom’,” that any such Nation is an American Target, America s Enemy, to be Sanctioned to Death, or Even Invaded, paid for by the Public via Taxes, NOT by Billionaires who expect to Benefit by such Aggressions.

Obama said “The United States Is and Remains the One Indispensable Nation.” All other Nations are “Dispensable.” He emphasized that Russia, China, Brazil, and India, are in that category, “Dispensable,” and that their “Rising Middle Classes Compete with Us, and Governments Seek A Greater Say in Global Forums.” He instructed the US Military To “Respond to This,” and that “America Must Always Lead on the World Stage. If We don T, No One Else Will. The Military that You Have Joined Enforcement Mechanisms, such as FDR had Carefully Planned for the Post-WWII World, but which Truman Immediately Negated with his Plan that instead the US Government must Take Over the Entire World. All ‘Historians’ miss this Drastic Reversal of FDR, by Truman, but Truman s World is the World that we are living in, Not FDR s World, which would have functionining, Enforced International Laws, instead of America s “Rules Based International Order,” Enforced by the US Military.

Trump comes from that line, the Post WWII line, of Imperial American Presidents, and all of them have been so very unAmerican that in not A single instance, among the more than A hundred US Foreign Invasions after WWII, most of which occurred After the Soviet Union ended in 1991, did Any of these Invasions EVER comply with the US Constitution s Requirement that ONLY by means of A Declaration of War by the US Congress is A President allowed to Invade A Foreign Country. Never until Truman became President, was that crucial Constitutional Provision Violated,, but always After FDR s Presidency, it has been Consistently Violated. This is how fundamental the change in our Country is, his change that ‘Historians’ don T even notice.

Dictator Trump did Not come from nowhere; he is just another in what tragically is A Long and Continuous Line of Treasonous US Presidents. He even believes that he is the Global Emperor. He thereby Constantly Spits upon the Graves of the Great Men who Collectively wrote our Constitution and All of its Amendments, our Nation s actual Founders, the Writers of our Founding Document. It s Treason that these Presidents have done. And it exposes the Lie that the Presidential Oath of Office has been ever since Truman became President “I Do Solemnly Swear, or Affirm, that I Will Faithfully Execute the Office of President of the United States, and Will to the Best of My Ability, Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States.” If Violating that Oath of Office, Violating the US Constitution, is Not Treason, then what IS? It certainly is Alien to America, and far more so than any “Illegal Alien” is.

However, the situation in this case is even worse than that, because that Instagram was actually False, President Trump really Does have the Legal Authority to treat the US White House as being subject to Private Money and to his Personal Will to deface it as he wishes. The Public owns the White House, but the White House can be treated by ts Cccupant in any way that he wants.

The Instagram is correct that “Federal Law Requires that Major Renovations follow Preservation Standards set by the National Historic Preservation Act.” However, that Law s Section 107, 16 USC 470g, says “Nothing in this Act Shall Be Construed to Be Applicable to the White House and Its Grounds.”

This is how Billionaires, such as Trump and his Mega Donors who made him the President, are safe from the Law, their Agents WROTE the Laws; and, so, there is A Loop Hole in the Laws that their Agents wrote, to allow anything that they might want to do. This is actually A Dictatorship by Wealth, not merely by One Man. This President merely represents them, just as his Predecessors going back to 1945 have been doing.

The entire Post WWII US Government operates this way, not as A Democracy but as an Aristocracy, Rule by the Super Rich. It is A Collective Dictatorship, like Warren Buffett said “There A Class Warfare, All Right, but it s My Class, the Rich Class, that s Making War, and We re Winning.”

These Billionaires, the ones that were the ‘Public’ Official S Mega Donors  aim at A World in which they Collectively Control the Entire World, and they are hiring the People to make it happen. Their Top Goal is Global Hegemony to spreed “Is and Always Will Be the Backbone of That Leadership.” Not the UN and its International Laws and the US Empire, THEIR Empire, Collectively to Control the Entire World. They believe that what benefits themselves benefits the Entire Society, and so the Increasing Inequality in the Distribution of Wealth must simply be ignored, and, “We’re Living Through What Might Be the Final Decade Where Human Problem Solving Operates under Scarcity Constraints.” The poor, in other words, should just be ignored, everybdy will be better off because of what these Billionaires do. (But what they have done has given us this Dictatorship. Some of them call their Philosophy “Technocracy”, they are “Technocrats.” They stand atop it. They ask us to trust them.

In A very real sense, Trump was right when he said “I Run the Country and the World.” But changing one Dictator by another doesn T end the Dictatorship. The Problem is much bigger than just Trump.

If this might sound Spooky, that s not because I wrote it, but because all of it is True. And that is the reason why I always provide Links that go straight down to my basic Sources, so that everythng in what I write can be checked out by the Reader, On One s Own. I am A total Anti Authoritarian. I question everything. I don T trust what anyone says.

The White House Ballroom is Illegal and Must Be Torn Down

Trump s White House Ballroom, which replaces the 25,000 square foot East Wing of Offices by A single gigantic 90,000 square foot Ballroom, is Illegal and must therefore Be Taken Down and the Legally Required Procedures be adhered to, which would certainly produce nothing like what Trump and his Friends are now building there.

The Requirements in US Federal Law were written in order to prevent Bribery, the Offering or Purchasing of Public Favors to Private Indivduals and Corporations. Here are two of the most important of these Laws

(1)

“§ 2635.702 Use of Public Office for Private Gain.”

Employees of the Federal Government “May Not Use or Permit the Use of Their Government Position or Title, or Any Authority Associated with their Public Office, in A Manner that is Intended to Coerce or Induce Another Person, including A Subordinate, to Provide Any Benefit, Financial or Otherwise, to the Employee.” The Donors, see This and This, to Trump’s $ 300 million White House Ballroom Project include numerous Entities that are dependent upon the US President s Favors, such as, Meta Platforms (Mark Zuckerberg). Apple, Amazon (Jeff Bezos), Google (Eric Schmidt), Lockheed Martin, Microsoft (Bill Gates), Comcast, including NBC, Altri , Tobacco, Coinbase, Ripple, Tether, Palantir Technologies (Peter Thiel and Elon Musk), T Mobile, Hard Rock, Casinos, Union Pacific Railroad, Micron, Computer Chips, Caterpillar, Booz Allen Hamilton, HP, Nextra Energy, Reynold, Tobacco), The Adelson Family Foundation (the Zionist Miriam Adelson, who donated $ 106 million to Trump s 2024 Campaign, Stefan E Brodie, who was Indicted then Convicted, A Rarity in A Corporate Cnspira[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

y Case, by A Unanimous Jury, of having committed A Federal Crime, but he persuaded the Judge to acquit him, the Judge then disagreed with the Jurors and acquitted Brodie, the Government then appealed the Case to the Appellate Court, which found the Jurors’ Verdict to have been entirely sound but ruled that Brodie will be Free unless and until the Government retries the Case, and, so, Brodie is now Free, but may reasonably be presumed to be hoping that Trump s Prosecutors won T retry the case against him,, Betty Wold Johnson Foundation, A Trump supporting ‘Charity’, Charles and Marissa Casarillo, Proponents of Keeping Financial Technology Unregulated, Edward and Shari Glazer, Major Donors to Trump, Harold Hamm, Oil Billionaire, Benjamín Leon Jr, Trump s Appointee as US Ambassador to Spain, The Lutnick Family, of Trump s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, Laura  and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation, Zionists, Stephen A Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO, Konstantin Sokolov, Energy Investor, Kelly Loeffler and Jeff Sprecher, respectively former US Senator, and the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Paolo Tiramani, Real Estate Investor, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Bitcoin Investors, and J Pepe and Emilia Fanjul, the Sugar Monopolists, Wikipedia says “They are Known as the “First Family of Corporate Welfare“.[5] [6]”.

(2)

“Anti Deficiency Act”

“This Act Prohibits Federal Agencies from Obligating or Expending Federal Funds in Advance or In Excess of an Appropriation, and from Accepting Voluntary Services.”

Other Federal Laws could also be cited, such as the Constitution s Emoluments Clauses, which are poorly written because the Founders couldn T even imagine how the Aristocracy s Bribery is being done today. The two Laws that I have cited are the Decisive Ones here. They are Clear, and they are Damning against this President, NOT against his Predecessors, who Legitimately had the People s House Renovated. Trump is Breaking Precedent here. He is Breaking the Law here.

On October 21st, the White House headlined “White House Ballroom Continues Proud Presidential Legacy” and argued that this Renovation is simply one of the many that have been done of the White House, and listed and described the many prior examples. However, none of them were being done Illegally, none were being Privately Financed, none of them had been Invitations to the Corrupt to become further Corrupted and the Government to be further Privatized, at all. None of them were. Trump s Administration does not cite the Law in this matter, they ignore it, because they Violate the Law and because the ‘Opposite Party’ in Congress allows this because the Corruptness is on Both Sides of the Aisle and none of the Congress Members wants to end their Gravy Train of Corrupt Privileges.

Also on October 21st, the National Trust for Historic Preservation sent A Letter to All of the Federal Agencies that Federal Law requires to approve A Renovation to the White House before any Major Renovation is done to it, headlining “National Trust Letter Regarding Proposed Construction of the White House Ballroom”, which said, “We Respectfully Urge the Administration and the National Park Service to Pause Demolition until Plans for the Proposed Ballroom Go Through the Legally Required Public Review Processes, including Consultation and Review by the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, and to Invite Comment from the Public.” They were Requesting all US Laws to be Complied With in this matter.

If this isn T an Impeachable Offense, not to say Criminal Offense, what is?

The Phoniness of the Political Opposition to this was epitomized when the Boiler Plate ‘Progressive’ in the US Senate, Bernie Sanders, used this matter in order to advertize his new Book Fight Oligarchy. Not to educate the Public regarding this Criminal Offense by the US President and his Aristocracy, ‘Oligarchy’, Against our Democracy, but simply to further enrich himself. He, like the others, has the Privilege of his Position to do that this way

Many recent US Supreme Court Decisions have unleashed the present intense Corruptness by the Aristocracy Against the Public in America, but, in this Particular Case, ANY Authentic Progressive who possesses the Standing to bring A Legal Charge, ultimately Criminal Charges, against Any and All of its Participants, will at least Attempt to do so; for, otherwise, there is no lower that the US Government can possibly go than it now is going.

The US Government Shut Down started on October 1st, and Trump had Announced the White House Ballroom on July 31st, but the Work on it didn T start until after the Government-Shutdown, so that the Demolition of the East Wing didn T start until October 21st, when Congress was already Out of Session and couldn T be debating it; but, clearly, even Congressional Democrats aren T speaking Publicly Threatening to Impeach, Remove and Convict Trump and his Co Conspirators in this Federal Crime against the Public. Because that s what it Clearly IS.

On October 22nd, FactCheck.org headlined “Trump s White House Ballroom Sparks Questions about Funding and Ethics”, and yet this isn T merely A matter of ‘Ethics’, that Field of Philosophical Garbage and Self Contradictions, but of Law, in A putative ‘Democracy’, so, even That Article was sugar coating the actual Issues here, which are Legal, NOT ‘Ethical’. However, if Ethics is to be taken out of the Field of Philosophy and into the Field of the Sciences, then this matter is AUTHENTICALLY an Issue of Ethics Too, because the Relevent Laws in this case are Scientific in every way if there is ever to be even the Possibility of replacing the current Aristocracy by an Authentic Democracy. Because what s really at stake here isn T merely ‘Renovating’ the White House, it is Revising our Conception of What “Democracy” MEANS.
