Subject: Re: Trumpflix?
Problem is the architect probably didn't want to putz around with whatever extensive engineering redesign might be needed for whatever it was Trump wanted (even Trump probably wasn't sure himself) without millions and millions more in additional design costs alone. And who knows what other changes that would require?

The word is that Trump kept upscaling the project, and the architect's small firm found it difficult to keep up with the changes and thought Trump's vision would dwarf the White House it was supposed to compliment. The chief architect was trying to reign in trump's grandiosity. So clashing on size and not keeping up with Trump's constant changes.
