There are too many lifeboats making the deck look cluttered...

Building codes, especially Fire Codes are written in blood.

honestly, I feel like people don't realize how large 90,000 square feet are. I helped open a Lowe's, we got the keys before the racking was in there. it was 95k square feet and it was cavernous. I cannot imagine a space that large for a "ballroom". unless you're hosting literally thousands of people, any event is gonna look like the freaking DashCon ball pit.

So maybe his properties need a safety inspection.

Is someone investigating if other building he developed were built to code?

Emergency exits opening inwards is nuts (I mean it's all nuts but that just seems extra nuts to me)

also there's a very VERY good reason why fire doors open outwards

The fact that he thinks fewer stalls will keep women out of the bathroom sums up his logic. Has he never seen a long line for women’s bathrooms?

Sounds like every property he was ever connected to should get a fire code audit 🤣

The Coconut Grove fire in Boston in 1942 killed 492 people. The tragedy exposed how deadly poor fire-safety design can become when hundreds of people are trying to escape at once: overcrowding, inadequate exits, inward-opening doors, and a main entrance that became a deadly bottleneck all contributed to the loss of life. Massachusetts subsequently strengthened its fire-safety requirements.
Now look at the reported design concerns surrounding Trump’s White House ballroom: questions about emergency egress, fire separation, and whether the building provides adequate ways for a large crowd to get out quickly.
The lesson of Coconut Grove was painfully simple: when a building is full of people, exits aren't an aesthetic detail. They're what stands between an emergency and a mass-casualty event.
We learned that lesson in 1942. We shouldn't have to learn it again.

I think someone needs to start doing some inspections of all his other properties…
