The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

Frankly, to tell you the truth, I look at the current WH, consider its function in greeting and meeting international guests, and wonder why it doesn't already have a grand ballroom? I mean, the place screams for one.

I'm sure Trump took one look at the place and realized the place begged for a grand ballroom commensurate with the honor and duties of the most powerful leader on the planet to wheel and deal planetary deals.

And when not in use for state functions, they can convert it into a hockey arena.

 

[M14 Shooter]

No. That has nothing to do with it.

All you do is lie.

What is he paying to live there? Who foots the bill of a President to live there.

The same people that footed the bill for the last 45 presidents.

I bet if anyone from the left was doing the same thing with taxpayer monies, there'd be no *****.

 

[Marener]

It’s going to be ugly. It’s way too big and overwhelms the White House itself, which obviously should remain the focal point.

Trump has no sense of style. Zero.

If you cared about the United States, our nation started its decline in 1913. even though we were still a rising nation. Woody Wilson and his wife put a dagger in our hearts that would be installed in the future at some point. Appreciate what he is doing to the White House. It needs it. We lost our innocence a long time ago. You want Jed Clampett while you hate his guts.

He's forfeited his president salary

Think hard

I thought so.

 

[Marener]

LOL TM

The left doesn’t do dumb shit like this.

You really think building a ballroom twice the size of the white house isn’t going to overwhelm it?

We are past the golly gee our government is so close to the people stage. For a long time now. In a government that is more like Rome as the Republic matures moving into Socialism and eventually to some form of Communism and is experiencing a decline, this is part of the experience. Donald Trump knows this. And his administration is in front of us all. We know this. We just do not want to admit it. Wha the Progs did in the middle of the 1960's set our fate from the lies of 1913.

Yeah the left does enough other dumb shit.... good point.

You're right, visiting dignitaries can just deal with using huge tents for lack of capacity.

 

[BULLDOG]

True but usually I understand why,..to a point. This time I don't. What's wrong with having a place for people to have parties and dance? I just don't get it. Maybe they're envious of how rich and powerful he is and that he can make it happen or something.

He can build all the ballrooms he wants, but he shouldn't destroy parts of the historical white house to do it. When he first mentioned it he promised the existing structure wouldn't be touched.

Trump said new White House ballroom construction wouldn't 'interfere with the current building'

The president's quote from July 2025 circulated online as demolition began on the White House's East Wing in October 2025.

What?

No Democrat ever burned the White House.

But Trump’s mob sacked the Capitol during his coup attempt.

Trump is building a monument to himself.

George Washington did not want the White House to be a palace.

Trump does.

If the Capitol was sacked, what plunder was carried off? Or do you just not know what the word "sacked" means?

He's an idiot. George Washington never lived in the White House!

 

[Crepitus]

What was in the East Wing?

Educate yourself, hick. Not my job.

It is becoming apparent that Timmy isn't an American and English is not his first language

Yeah, Trump gives a puny portion of his salary while his family is pocketing billions from his monetization of the presidency and Trump himself is on the verge of a 1/4 billion dollar payday curtesy of the US taxpayer.

These ******* idiots can't handle it that Trump is making America great again! Delicious hahaha

"Pride goeth before the fall" See if your little MAGAT infested brain can decipher that, MAGA stooge.

Trump will not play leftist games. That organization shouldn’t get a dime of taxpayer money. DOGE the entire department.

You must have meant to say trump won't follow the law.

Your leftist idol Madonna wanted to blow up the White House with Trump inside.
