if not for mass hysteria liberal democrats would be fit to know it's common for potus to remodel the WH, including Democrats.
How many of the others used private $ BTW?
Here are the first page of lib. democrat responses. The large majority of comments on the page are from "libs" of course, it's Yahoo, and you know, the lib. dem frenzy. I didn't cherry-pick, the comments were pulled from the top. Remember, lib. democrats are "educated" with superior intellect.
Donald Trump defended the destruction of the East Wing to make way for his new ballroom after backlash.

Not sure about the decision to tear up the peoples house and historic building or how legal it is, but sure building a ballroom could've been done differently.
No one cares about a tacky ballroom that looks like it's being built for an Epstein party. (Karen BTW)☺
What gives Orange Crush, 34 Felons the right to tear down part of the White House. He does not own the property.
What about the Epstein Files? No insurance aka health care, but the GOP & MAGA gives you a ballroom
Where Doge team?
It wasn’t his to knock down.
Any truth to the rumors Melania has a personal stripper pole dedicated to her, on the middle of the ball room? Asking for a friend! 
And he screams and threatens Jerome Powell for cost overruns for the Fed Reserve building renovations. What a baseless hypocrite.
He has no authority to remodel or tear down the East Wing of the Whitehouse! It belongs to the United States of America! After he is no more, I suggest we tear down everything he has done! Even his Florida palace that he claims is his and is not! Erase him from history!!
Can't wait for that ballroom to feed hungry schoolchildren; expand benefits for veterans, the disabled, and the working poor; provide healthcare for all Americans; make childcare affordable; bolster public education; increase medical/scientific research; repair infrastructure; and provide funds for recovery of natural disasters!! THOSE are the problems this incompetent admin should be working to give Americans!
Hmmm. DOGE approved I assume ?
Does anyone actually believe that he's paying for this out of his own pocket?
Nope, it's just another LIE like Mexico will pay for the wall!
Wow. That inflation-thingy he promised to eliminate on Day 1 is still a nagging issue, huh?
The most Foolish POTUS in 248 years of America !
Over / Under.....I say closer to a billion. Don't believe the Liar in Chief.
Is anyone benefitting in America besides the trump last name ?
Lies about the construction, the cost, who will pay ... and more. Meanwhile, questions arise as to how he managed to get a contractor, architect etc. in 10 months of his second term, by-passing the Public Procurement Act & competitive bidding. What are their fees? How did an architect prepare the drawings so quickly for the design, get them reviewed & approved by Trump, the General Services Administration, federal security, the Historical Planning Commission, against building codes, etc.? How/when did Trump line up the donations (and where is the money)? Who is managing the project? Were there ANY public comments? Are the contracts & schedule public records? What kind of clearances were necessary for the on-site workers? And is he rushing the project & destruction of the East Wing because Repubs have conveniently closed down Congress, eliminating checks & balances on the King's powers? It appears he's using his usual tactic of doing whatever he wants fast to make it more expensive for anyone to fight him in Court.
I logic defying waste of money.
His a paper king. king on paper with his own broken pen. What a ruler of a fool who writes it down in sin And with a hairy signature….So does it look like hair on everything he signs?
This is your fault republicans. Get ready for unemployment next November
It's not your house to tear down.
Not a peep from emasculated congress. They're all terrified of the cult leader.
The next president will tear down his gaudy embarrassment. What a loser
The day he's gone will be a great celebration
With this administration we will never know the true cost of this eyesore and how much taxpayers actually paid towards it
