*🇺🇸-Krasner Says Trump’s White House Ballroom Will Be Blown Up* Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner spoke Tuesday at the annual slavery commemoration at the President’s House in Old City. He called President Trump a “pain in the a--” and the “embodiment of hate, the embodiment of ignorance and the embodiment of depriving people of their vote and education.” Krasner said the President’s House site and its memorial will still be standing in 10 to 15 years. Trump’s ballroom will not. “I’m going to have a paper weight sitting on my desk,” Krasner said. “And do you know what that paper weight’s going to be? It’s going to be a piece of the ballroom after we blow it up.” He added that the demolition would happen in an “official ceremony,” with the pieces sold to repay taxpayers. The ballroom is under construction on the former East Wing site. Estimated cost is around $400 million.
