...from Chairman Donny:
“we have great contractors here. great road builders. and we’re not ripping roads apart so they’re closed for four years as they redo the concrete bases and you don’t need that. we need a beautiful topping by a very talented asphalt-type person.”
“you know, grass has a lifetime like people have a lifetime, and the lifetime of this grass has long been gone. when you look at the parks where the grass is all tired, exhausted. we’re going to redo the grass with the finest grasses. I know a lot about grass.”
And here he is blathering on about the Federal Reserve's headquarters, which isn't near the Potomac River:
“what they did to that building. they built a basement under the building. it didn’t have a basement. this is simple to understand. the building is right next to a thing called the Potomac River. the beautiful Potomac River. that means lots of water. and the water is right under the building. and they decide to build a basement under the building, in the Potomac River. so in order to do that, you need the biggest pumps that God ever created. and they were pumping their hearts out, but as big as those pumps are, you can’t pump it fast enough because it’s the Potomac River. if the pump were bigger than this room, you couldn’t pump it, but they tried. and they’ve been building a basement. I said ‘why do you want to build a basement?’ ‘I thought it would be a good idea, sir.’ a basement is the least-valuable floor in a building. I know a lot about real estate, the least-valuable thing is the basement, and you don’t build a basement under a building that is two feet above the river that is right next to it, you know, it’s right near the river. people don’t realize the river’s right out their window. and that’s the beginning. they just did a terrible job.”
