About this listen

In this episode of White House Makeover, sardonic architect Jasper Quill follows the money behind Trump's proposed White House renovation. Who's funding the nine-hundred-person ballroom? What do private donors expect in return for reshaping American democratic symbolism? Jasper dissects the incomplete donor lists, the corporate interests involved, and the troubling shift from public accountability to private influence. With his characteristic blend of architectural expertise and dark wit, he explores how buildings aren't just structures—they're arguments about power, and someone is trying to win that argument with checkbooks instead of votes. This is architecture as ego, influence disguised as generosity, and the quiet consolidation of power written in blueprints and steel.
