The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

Did not read the thread…

Chester A. Arthur called in Louis Comfort Tiffany — yes, THAT Tiffany — to decorate.

Teddy Roosevelt oversaw the construction of the West Wing, taking out greenhouses and gardens.

William Howard Taft built the first Oval Office, which Trump has decorated with gold filigree.

Franklin D. Roosevelt oversaw the construction of the East Wing, which Trump is now partially demolishing for the ballroom.

Harry Truman got a full gut renovation.

Jackie Kennedy put in the Rose Garden that Trump recently ripped out for a massive patio.

Gerald Ford put in a swimming pool.

Barack Obama engaged in the “big dig” that retrofitted the Situation Room and dug out space under the West Wing for who knows whatever else.

This ballroom is to host events and state dinners with heads of state instead of doing them in a tent in the yard.

YES, THEY WERE OFTEN IN A TENT IN THE YARD. HOT IN THE SUMMER, COLD IN THE WINTER.

Why is it only bad when Trump does something to the White House?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Who is paying for it, not you, so an upgrade shouldn't get your panties in an existential
bunch

The gullible Trump cult believes their dear leader..............AGAIN.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

I can't ******* believe what he did to the Oval Office. Holy crap. It looks like Liberace threw up in there.

Or a pimp.

Regardless, his destruction of the White House is about the most appropriate metaphor for his presidency that I can imagine.

 

[ColonelAngus]

How is it degradation? Are you suggesting the white house is never supposed to change?

TDS is real.

NF,

What is “FAKE NEWS” about my post?

Specifically, what did I post that is inaccurate?

 

[the watcher]

Is this in the east wing where the Clinton's used to dance?

 

[Frankenstein]

If the WH. needed a makeover than Trump could have gone to Congress to appropriate the funds instead of ramming this project don't the country's throat. If it WAS needed than the taxpayer's SHOULD pay for it.

The whole deal is nothing but a ******* bribe because Trump's cronies don't donate shit unless there's something in for THEM.

MAGA'S raaaaaaant about "Deep State" is swirling in the ******* bowl thanks to your Dear ******* Leader.

He is doing something for the country, and we aren't footing the bill, just a thank you would suffice

Ok, the cats being better dancers than the guy behind them is legit funny.

I think what most leftys are angry about is that its trump doing it, and his name and legacy will forever be tied to the white house because of it. If any democrat president had done this, you would have said it was a very good addition.

You appear to have accepted the notion the human wrecking ball has put forth that a grand ballroom is something presidents have wanted for 150 years. That's a conman's bullshit. Secondly, if a Dem prez felt major renovations to the WH were needed he wouldn't have gone ahead with them on his own.

trump is a temporary steward of the presidency. The WH isn't his to do with as he pleases. It belongs to the country. What he has done already, destroying a significant part of a historic building, is an abomination and an insult to the country.

 

[berg80]

He is doing something for the country

He is doing something for himself and destroying part of the people's house in the process. Why do you think he lied when he put the plan forward by asserting the original structure of the WH would not be affected?

 

[Paddlefoot]

A good place to hold auctions at when the next bunch takes over.

First of all Trump isn't tearing the white house down he's renovating it. Second of all he lives there, and third of all the last time I checked he's the president of The United States and he can do whatever he wants to as he's not breaking any laws.

Hillary Clinton fires up voters against Trump's White House ballroom construction: 'Not his house'

President Donald Trump begins construction on a privately-funded $200 million White House ballroom as Democrats including Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren condemn the project.

[SassyIrishLass]

They have hissy fits about anything Trump

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They oppose anything Trump. The left hangs on his every breath so they can generate new outrage.

 

[ChristisKing]

They have hissy fits about anything Trump

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.

 

[Blaster]

The ballroom is a great addition. Trump loves projects like this.

 

[ChristisKing]

The ballroom is a great addition.

I think so too. From the picture it sort of looks like it always existed.

Why Is The Left Having Such A Fit About The Ballroom!?​

Because dems typically dont have any balls.





















I KID!! I KID!!!

 

[Zincwarrior]

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

 

[Nostra]

Poor? Worth billions.

Weak? Forced numerous trade deals, and negotiated the end to 7 or 8 wars. Hard to keep up.

Stupid? He has your Murder Cult defending illegals, drug cartels, Hamas, men in girl’s locker rooms, and cutting off funding for the military and old folks. He is playing 4-D chess while you idiots Google how to draw a tic tac toe board.

No, it's more like they have balls and then want to enter the women's restroom and locker room with them.
