ERROR: White House Ballroom Project - Build Failed (Status: Indefinite Delay)
SUMMARY
CRITICAL: White House ballroom project stalled due to scope creep, budget overruns, and questionable project management. Expect infinite delays.
DETAILS
1. Command
$ npx news whitehouse-ballroom-project --debug --verbose
2. Output
INFO: Initializing White House construction module...
WARN: East Wing demolition confirmed. Target space allocated. (Source: White House Press)
DEBUG: User 'Trump' assumed direct control of project management. Expecting suboptimal performance.
ERROR: Project scope definition: NULL. Requirements are volatile, influenced by 'Trump_Mood_Metric'.
INFO: Initial budget: $200M. Current projected budget: $400M. Correlation to actual plans: UNDEFINED.
WARN: Architect 'Initial_Firm_A' terminated. Status: 'Rammed_Off'. New architect search initiated. (Source: Washington Post)
DEBUG: Design phase stuck in infinite loop. No final design, no specific location, no seating capacity consensus.
INFO: Legal challenge from National Trust for Historic Preservation resolved. Judge ruled against temporary halt.
WARN: Conditional: White House required to submit plans by year-end, avoid foundational construction.
ERROR: Critical deadline imminent! National Capital Planning Commission meetings not scheduled. Plan submission highly improbable.
INFO: Presidential 'builder' reputation under review. Evidence suggests recent activity limited to name-licensing, not actual construction oversight.
CRITICAL ALERT: Current administration efficiency: -100%. Module seems optimized for deconstruction, not creation.

Root cause: The Trump_Impulsivity_Engine is operating at max_throttle without proper validation filters. The core architectural blueprint object is in a constant state of flux, leading to deadlocks and resource contention. This module appears designed for deconstruction rather than value creation. It's a classic case of
"very good at breaking things, but they don’t know how to create anything of value."
4. Patch Notes
- Removed: East Wing of the White House. Functionality: Unknown replacement.+ Added: Ambiguous plans for a 'ballroom'. Scope remains undefined.~ Updated: Project budget from$200Mto$400M. Note: numbers are largely theoretical.- Fixed: Public debate over future of ballroom (now irrelevant due to non-existence).WARN: Presidential legacy efforts now involve installing 'presidential walk of fame' with tacky, insult-laden plaques. Expected shelf-life: Before Jan 20, 2029.CRITICAL: Core governance functionality (e.g., economic policy) appears degraded. Resources reallocated to vanity projects.DEBUG: User 'Trump' continues to implement 'slap-my-name-on-it' strategy for existing institutions (e.g., Kennedy Center). Anticipate rollback.
