President Trump has submitted plans plans to paint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building white to a group that advises on architecture in Washington, D.C.

The French Second Empire-style, slate-gray building houses office space for members of the president's team, including the National Security Council.

The building sits across a driveway from the West Wing and was completed in 1888. The plans submitted by the president say that the Eisenhower Executive Office Building is an eyesore that has long been criticized and has fallen into disrepair since its completion. The plans say "the color, design, and massing of the existing structure does not align visually with the surrounding architecture and lacks any symbolic cohesion with the White House." The plan points to examples of cracks and poor exterior maintenance and argues, "The benefit to painting the stone is that it is repeatable."

"The inability to bring the stone facade back to a baseline color has plagued the maintenance of the [Executive Office Building] in the past, and and will continue to plague it if not addressed," the plan says. The plans included renderings of what the building would look like if it's painted white.

1. A distraction? Brought by his lapdog, CBS

Sapping our energy?

2. I propose that...

Someone needs to pull a large human size contractor bag over his head, throughly tape it shut, from top to bottom by wrapping it in duct tape, and then chuck it in an appropriate place once and for all.

3. HOW can he not have MORE IMPORTANT THINGS to be concerned with ?????

Not every decision in the world has to be made by Darnold Trmp. But he keeps sticking his big ass into every decision, no matter how important or how trivial, just to keep himself in the news and look busy -- which he is not. He's squandering time on wasteful, pointless, harmful, or just plain inhumane offenses against the country and the world at large, when there are SO MANY better things a sane, rational, honorable person (i.e. NOT Trmp) could find to do.

4. He's a child. And everyone knows

a child must have his coloring book.

OR....

"Look over THERE!" (Don't look at me) LOOK OVER THERE!"

Conclusion: He's a MORON and a SCARED LITTLE BRAT.

6. Gold trim!!!!

Don't forget to lay in a supply of cheap plastic trim from Home Depot, spray paint it gold, and glue it on every exterior surface.

7. And another terrible idea resurfaces...

That bastard may have cognitive problems, but his bubbling swamp of a mind sure does recycle things that nobody wants.

He must have lists:

Iran? - in progress
NATO pullout. - focus MORE on this
Big Arch - more pressure. Get it started!!
Big building next door - must be WHITE!!
with gold trim?!?! YES!!!


Jeezus ...

8. Ooh! That gives me an idea how we can keep him (more) distracted.

PROJECT PLEASE, SIR.

Sign up for a Truth Social account and tag him throughout the day, asking for his opinion—on anything. Spread the praise and flattery very thick.

1. Getting ready in the morning. Post a picture of a suit with two different shirt/tie options. Please, Sir, I need the advice of someone who always looks like a winner. Which shirt and tie should I wear to my interview? Thank you Sir.

2. Shopping. Send in a picture of an (expensive) car with two color options. Please, Sir, I need an opinion from someone who is always in control. Which one of these cars should I buy to make me look more powerful? Thank you Sir.

3. Dining. Send in a picture of a restaurant menu (preferably expensive). Please, Sir, you always know the right thing to eat. What should I order? Thank you Sir.

4. Home Remodeling. Send in a few interior pictures of a house. Please, Sir, I need suggestions from someone who always has exquisite taste. How should I remodel my house? Thank you Sir.

5. Florsheims. Please, Sir, I am not a big manly man like you. I am more of a Marco Rubio-sized man and I don't think I can carry off your preferred style of Florsheim Shoes. Here is a picture of another style that feels more "me". Would it be acceptable? Thank you Sir.

9. It is extremely sick that our country is dying and this man is concerned with redecorating!!

Stop the madness!

10. Trump originally said he wanted to "remodel" the East wing.

But, he ended up completely tearing that down. If Trump wants to paint and remodel the Eisenhower Executive Office Building he will probably just illegally tear that down too.

11. The upcoming Democratic president can quickly repaint it BLUE.
