Please explain to me why the ballroom has so many panties in a bunch.....

[hadit]

You’ll have to pay for the entire thing.

Not for the construction, only for the petty revenge of tearing down a perfectly suitable ballroom that any president would be glad to use.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yup, and the rest of the money disappeared.

Got a link for that?

 

[marvin martian]

Got a link for that?

$376 million budget, and all anyone can point to is the basketball court.

Where did the rest of the money go?

It won’t get built.

You keep chanting that. Why do you think it won't be built?

Neither link contains that information. I am pretty sure other renovations were included in that figure.

Oh, I know full well I'll have to pay for the petty revenge plans to tear down a perfectly functional ballroom because some leftwingers got their collective panties in a bunch, insisting we have to go back to hosting foreign dignitaries in tents. All because Orange Man Bad and reasons and stuff.

Tents and porta potties

They can't ***** about the cost....
It's all donated. Must be killing them....lol.

 

[Concerned American]

All of these went through a review and permitting process.

Your fuhrer just vandalized the White House grounds in order to make way for a monument to himself.

Trump is following the law. Too bad it doesn't fit in with your insane TDS. LOL

 

[GMCGeneral]

He added portable hoops to an existing tennis court

Sasha and Malia bought him the hoops for Fathers Day and Barack painted the lines over the weekend

That piece of ghetto trash should have never been president.

In about 20 years that won't be true anymore. I don't know if you've noticed, but every president's approval ratings go up after they leave office, even Nixon's, and so will TRUMP!'s. You do know that Cackles would be dead last right now had she won, right?

Not always
Reagan’s ratings have dropped

Trump can’t drop any further

I am confident he will rebound as Orange Man Bad fades and people again wonder why they're supposed to hate the guy so much. We already saw that happen in the '24 election, when you guys overplayed your hand going after him in court. This will happen especially if the next winning democrat ticket is on the level of Cackles/Walz.

Trump had a catastrophic first term and has started a second term where he ignores all standards and requirements in establishing autocratic rule.

If this is his first year, I fear what his last year will look like

He won a second term and sent two of the democrats' best and brightest into retirement. He will rebound, especially if the next democrat ticket is on par with Cackles/Walz.

Only in the eyes of far Left whackjob Communists like you, That tar baby should have kept his ass in Chicago and never in the WH

Democrats who have no solutions to the problems they created only have hate for Trump

The national historic society? Really? The East wing was not particularly historical. Now they want to dictate the architecture and take it back to Congress for approval or disapproval..... Objecting to the demolition of the east Wing is now moot and yet somehow or another they are wasting their time filing papers objecting to the demolition.

A little research produces the information that the East Wing was expanded in 1902 to house the first lady's staff. It was expanded further in the 1940s to cover up the presidential emergency operations center. So f****** what?

You want to tell me that the first lady staff now has no place to operate from? Hell, Trump hardly ever stays at the White House anyway..... I guess the last time he hosted a large international event with temporary tents and literally with porta potties.... It must have it must have dawned on him that the United States needed some type of formal reception area for international affairs. I can't see the president of France unbuttoning his sports jacket to step into a blue poop house in front of 300 international guests can you?

What is all the uproar really about? Naked politics I think..... I still haven't seen any reasonable statements by any organizations or individuals explaining why the historicity of the White House has now been damaged....

What I do see is yet another attempt to stop Trump from being as successful as he has been. Add to this the fact that it's all privately funded, basically excluding the bitching about money and you have an end around around the assholes who object to anything and everything attached to this presidency....just because.

Jo

Why? Because it is Trump. Period. NO other reason.

They can't stand the idea of subsequent presidents hosting foreign dignitaries in something he built.
