Olivia of Troye - Saturday Covfefe: Just Another Week in 2026

Just another week in 2026. Let’s get started.

1. Paint It White, Fix Nothing

Newly obtained documents reveal the Trump administration is fast-tracking plans to paint the historic Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the granite landmark next to the White House that houses the Vice President’s office, the National Security Council, and other key government functions. I spent 2.5 years working there. Trust me, it’s beautiful as is.

The estimated cost? About $7.5 million.

Preservation experts have blasted the proposal, with one historic preservation office calling it "architectural vandalism of the highest order." More than 2,000 public comments were submitted, most opposing the project. But the paint isn’t really the story.

Are taxpayers paying inflated prices to people Trump has stiffed for work on HIS properties in the past? Is this bribery to silence people with grounds to sue him?

Not accusing, but it seems a reasonable possibility and worth a look. Any chance some of the White House Stenographers Pool could nose around?
