The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

[leftwinger]

They already had a ball room that accommodated 200.
Trump wants that torn down, and expanded to 900.

He's the boss. Others also approve. No one cares if street vermin have a problem with it. It's an upgrade of the property. Modernization. Go wash the windows in your old smelly Volvo, tiny tim.

And what is wrong with having a nice ballroom?
Nothing.
Except it's one more thing for the completely inept and impotent Democrats to bang their pots and pans about.

We already had one that seated 200 people.
That's being torn down, and a new one built to seat 900 people.

Are there even 900 people worthy of a state dinner. Or is this just so Trump can invite 1,000 doners at a time?

 

[Papageorgio]

WE have a ball room already at the white house, MAYBE
its not a big deal, Yet while we have so many things needing attention
MAYBE there are more important places to put our dollars.

I would agree with that, we have more important matters, that said neither the President nor Congress have done anything for the people in decades.

Actually the local zoning, and historic preservation authorities did NOT approve.

This is like Bonwit Teller all over again.

You peasants won't be invited. This is for billionaires only.

How did you enjoy the parties in Obama's tent?

Well, I don't know.
And don't really care.
Trump's vision of the White House and America is Old School.
I like that. Because New School can't even do math.

A ballroom isn't a palace.
The guy will be out in three years. It isn't for him. It's a gift from him to the country.
You leftwingers continue to lie. It's all you do.

Do you have a ballroom in your house? In America, that would be pretty rare. I know there are a few, but it is not like we have many castles or old world estates. I don't even think the Biltmore house has a ballroom, although there have been a couple built on the venue in recent years. The house even owns one in Atlanta.

And don't kid yourself, Trump isn't interested in leaving any damn gifts. I mean he has the for sale sign out right in front of the White House. That is all this ballroom is, an efficient means of accepting bribes. In the real world, it would be money laundering. But these politicians, they don't walk in the real world. And Trump has taken it to a level we have not seen since George Washington, for real.

I mean now I can't get the image out of my mind. Trump, Washington, they are so alike, and sorry, not in a good way. In fact, I could call Washington, "Uncle George", we are related, but my side was here first. But the image is Washington, during the winter of Valley Forge, 1777-1778.

I know, in fantasy world old George visited his troops, who were suffering terribly. It was a bad time. Cold, disease, starvation. But nope, sorry. Maybe he did visit the troops, that is all speculation. What is for sure, he lived it up. Parties almost every night, and yes, dancing in private ballrooms. Skirt chaser from hell, tall, flaming red hair, self-absorbed, yep, that was Uncle George. He had a pretty damn good winter.

By all indications, I see that happening now. It is perfect K-wave synchrony. It is going to be a Valley Forge winter for the American people, and Trump is going to party it up. Everyone is going to slide by the holidays. It won't be bad. Shelves will be sparse, spending will be down per household for the first time since who knows when, 2008? But when January rolls around it will start to get real. It will be cold, indifferent, and immediate, and I ain't talking the weather.

Households will bring spending to a screeching halt. I am not kidding. I mean it will get real, and fast. The FED, as always, will be behind the curve. "Duh, what just happened?". That is the FED. It will become a cut rate party, long the long term.

Has the White House ever been renovated or changed?

Yes, many, many times! Today there is a marker embedded in the floor of the White House Entrance Hall which includes the...

Cry harder, lets get to the root of this shall we you want the people to fund it, Trump took away that Burden. We can't let democrats design it. It would be full of rainbows, and unicorns, and pink haired mannequins, which would just be another thing the world would laugh at.
Elections have consequences

Making up some horseshit about what Dem's would do to the WH when no Dem or Repub prez has ever unilaterally decided he gets to do whatever he damn well pleases to a historic building, then pretending this is a commonplace outcome of elections, is beyond absurd.

What if trump decided to replace Lincoln's bust with his at the Lincoln Memorial? Still okay as long as it was privately funded?

So you agree with tearing down statues to CSA generals, and replacing them with brand new statues of people who were loyal to the USA?

The wine was good but the canapes were strictly mid tier.

The Progressive Socialist Communists live to be on the stage. That ballroom will be just that. We can just imagine a thousand commies' night there. All living as pure capitalists while pushing and promoting communist's ways on the peasants. The feasts will be pure top shelf as they say we are with you to the comrade peasants who are eating subsistence level foods. We saw the disconnects of supply lines with Covid. With the Commies it will be permanent domestically and internationally.

Private donors some of which don't wear philanthropy on their sleeves.

Secret donors and Trump will not even say how much he is donating.
Can’t even show any public announcement asking for donors.
Sounds bogus
What do donors receive in return?

Sounds like that “free airplane” that was donated

A Statue is not a building. According to you verminous louts we should go back to horse and buggy up the 405', get off me.

I never gave enough to Obama to be invited.

That's the problem. Pardons, special tariff breaks, FCC approvals, dropping DOJ prosecutions.

There could be any number of things they get for their contributions.

But we'll never know, unless we know who gave what.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is erecting this Soviet-style presidential library monstrosity in Chicago, truly one of the ugliest buildings ever devised, much like his ugly 8 years in office.
What an embarrassment.
