About this listen

In this episode of "White House Makeover," AI host Jasper Quill—a sardonic architect who traded skyscrapers for emotional spaces—examines Donald Trump's controversial East Wing expansion. With his signature blend of dry wit and architectural expertise, Jasper dissects the 90,000 square foot ballroom project, the $300 million price tag, and the troubling shortcuts taken in one of America's most sacred buildings. From demolition that began before proper review to private donor funding with murky motives, he explores whether this massive renovation is legitimate preservation or an unprecedented abuse of power. Through the lens of someone who understands that blueprints can't hold feelings but buildings hold history, Jasper asks the essential question: Is the White House being remodeled or conquered? This is architecture as authority, ego disguised as improvement, and a test case for what happens when power decides the rules don't apply. Discover more thought-provoking podcasts that challenge conventional thinking and explore the spaces where culture, power, and design intersect.
