Trump's obsession with the "terrible" FBI building

Behind the scenes: In the midst of one rant about the FBI, he lit into the building. “Even the building is terrible,” he observed to an Axios source. “It’s one of the brutalist-type buildings, you know, brutalist architecture. Honestly, I think it’s one of the ugliest buildings in the city.”

Another source said he was dead opposed to plans to move it out of D.C. “This is prime real estate, right on Pennsylvania Avenue,” he said. “This is a great address. They need to stay there. But it needs a total revamp.”

That source said Trump told Chief of Staff John Kelly he wants to oversee the project at an excruciating level of detail: the cost per square foot, the materials used, the renovation specs, etc. He’s treating it like it’s a Trump Organization construction project, the source added.
