Trump has had the entire East Wing of the White House torn down, without permit or review of the National Capital Planning Commission. Now his hand picked architect has stepped back from the project because Trump is ignoring the "golden rule of architecture" that any addition should not overwhelm the building it is meant to enhance and a number of design issues. Trump has indicated he will ignore all zoning, permitting or code requirements. His rushed plans included wonky windows and a staircase to no where. Now he wants to expand the building from 500 seats (999 people) to accommodate 1,350 guests.
