The White House magnificently trolls Dems about the East Wing renovations
The White House magnificently trolls Dems about the East Wing renovations
Buried in a staid, fact-filled history of the White House’s development are some gems that should make the Democrats ashamed of themselves.
There’s a saying on the conservative internet that “the left can’t meme.” While conservatives have proven adept at churning out punchy, ironic, and relevant memes, both visual and verbal, leftists respond with ponderous diatribes that consist of walls of words and muddy, confusing images. In a world of 3-second attention spans, their messaging fails dismally.
As we are all aware, the East Wing was constructed during World War II to accommodate the surge of office workers flooding the government during the war. Additionally, it may have been added to obscure the fact that the White House was upgrading its underground military headquarters and adding a bomb shelter.
The old building’s history isn’t very interesting, and it wasn’t an architectural gem. Instead, it was a warren of rooms, including the First Lady’s office (since Rosalynn Carter’s era), as well as lesser facilities, such as the calligraphy office and a small movie theater.
Meanwhile, White House entertaining has been taking place in small, 19th-century rooms that hold fewer than 200 guests for a reception. For the most important, and one of the most populous, nations in the world, that’s ridiculous. Large receptions have been held in tents, with guests trudging over to portable toilets. It’s third-world political theater for a first-world country.
It turns out that our White House can meme very well, too. Nothing more perfectly exemplifies this than the official White House website response to the Democrat hysteria regarding the upgrade that President Trump is doing to the East Wing of the White House.
So, the Trump administration acted. With private donations, Trump developed a plan for a large space that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests and features numerous bathrooms.

Naturally, as the Democrat-created government shutdown proved first to be a non-issue and then an anchor around their necks, the Democrats decided to get hysterical about the sacred East Wing. How dare that Neanderthal Trump, with his tacky tastes, despoil this hallowed ground? Who does he think he is to do something without Congressional permission and taxpayer funds? How will this holy site ever survive the insult he’s committed against it?
Faced with this frenzied response, the White House, in a section of its official website dedicated to the building itself, offers a comprehensive timeline of major events in the building’s history. It’s actually interesting.~

The White House may be historic, but it’s not a museum. We’re not Europe, which is a fossil of its once important self. (I always say that one of Europe’s problems is that because all it had to offer after WWII was being a museum for tourists, it got frozen in amber and stopped developing.)
We are a dynamic and important nation, and the White House needs to adapt to the times. It can move in a sordid direction (affairs, Islamic radicals, cocaine, and transgender debauchery) or it can keep up with the demands of a powerful nation that’s on the move. Thankfully, Trump has chosen that second option.
Commentary:
During Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby. Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user. Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in 2019, which contains photos of frequent drug use alongside emails about foreign business dealings (Ukraine, China) involving his father, Joe, while he was Vice President.
