obviously not grandiose enough for the malignant narcissus
As President Donald Trump advances plans for a new ballroom at the White House—part of a wider set of proposals aimed at reshaping ceremonial and public-facing spaces in Washington—the debate has drawn attention to the kinds of venues the federal government already operates nearby.
Just over a mile from the White House sits the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, with the main event space described as a “show-stopping masterpiece of Neoclassical architecture.”
“Towering 45′ Roman Doric columns line the perimeter, supporting a newly-restored, gilded frieze that wraps the room in real gold and opulent detail,” the website continues. The grand room is capable of hosting around 650 seated guests or up to roughly 1,000 people in total—similar to the scale envisioned for the proposed ballroom, and already used by multiple presidents, including Trump.
one can imagine what sort of tacky trash frump will decorate his great idea compared to the majesty of the mellon building
