Yeah, for four years it was actually a crack house.

President Donald Trump declared that the White House was a “dump” before he began renovating it, accusing his presidential predecessors of neglecting the historic building and claiming his work has left it “in better shape than when built in 1792.”
The president offered the take on Sunday night while posting before-and-after photographs of restoration work at the executive mansion, which has undergone a sweeping and ambitious overhaul during his second term.
“The White House was in very bad condition, both inside and out. Frankly, it was a “dump!” Past Presidents did not take care of it. I love renovating it during my spare time, which is not much,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president praised the Department of the Interior and contractors working on the building, saying they were doing a “fantastic job.”
“The exterior “skin” of the Building was practically falling off! It is now in better shape than when built in 1792. Such an Honor to have the privilege of saving this Great Structure! More time without renovation would have destroyed our beloved White House!” he added.
Trump’s larger transformation of the White House complex has become a central project of his second term. The East Wing was demolished to make way for a new ballroom, which he has insisted is being paid for by contributions from himself and private donors rather than taxpayers, calling it a “gift to the United States of America.”

I’m thankful a builder President is making the renovations.
'Look at this ugly building! I did that! Ha! Ha! you fools!'

“ 22-Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23-Control art critics and directions of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive meaningless art.””
Part of the 45 goals of Comkunism.
Trump has standards.
DemocRATz hae Biden, Dorkbama, the Hillabeast and Kamala- and millions of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (and so very much more, but not enough time to type).
‘Nuff said.
QED
Well, it needed fumigation at the VERY least! And then all of the STUPID ‘artwork’ removed. And I could go on...
Yep. Saw it with my own eyes.
The Enemy Media completely skipped over every ‘Christmas’ while they were shacking up in ‘The People’s House.’ I’ve looked. There are VERY few photos from those Christmas seasons.
Same here.
too much gold in the oval office, in my opinion.
