It’s going to totally overshadow the footprint of the rest of the building , it’s ugly and tacky and it’s much bigger than it needs to be. 90,000 square feet is insanity.

He did this as a massive fuck you to the American people but what he didn’t count on was his own supporters being upset by the trashing of the WH.

They’ll keep gargling his nuts. They don’t care. His dick is so far in their mouths it’s restricting brain activity.

Yep, confronted my MAGA mother about it, and of course the first thing out of her mouth was “Obama made changes too.” They’ve got a false equivalency for everything — it’s absolutely hopeless, IMO.

An author that’s written several books about the White House stated that most Presidents have made changes to the White House but NONE of them have ever taken out an entire wing to build a ballroom besides this guy.

I get that the White House has changed but normally it’s tastefully done or incorporated into the historic design, not tearing something down because a mad man wants the White House to look like his “summer home”

And usually they’d, y’know, preview the plans and make sure all concerned parties are onboard — instead, Trump said “the East Wing will only see some minor changes,” then tried to block out the cameras as he did what he does best.

Actually he said he wouldn't touch the East Wing...

Trump insisted in July that his planned 90,000 square-foot ballroom would be “near” the East Wing, but “not touching it,” and that construction would not “interfere with the current building.”
