It’s too good. It’s beyond comical. For the past week or so, liberal America has been apoplectic over President Trump’s new addition to the White House. He’s renovating the East Room so that a proper ballroom can be on the grounds, a venue that can accommodate at least 650 people. The president of the United States will forever have a place for official state dinners and other events—no more tents on the lawn. And yet, you’d think Trump ordered a slash-and-burn of the entire residence. Other presidents have done this—it’s not a big deal.
The project is being funded by Trump personally and a slew of private donors. Also, this isn’t some secret spur-of-the-moment renovation. Trump has been saying he wants this done for quite some time. The best part is that the rabid anti-Trump audiences of MSNBC and NBC News donated to this project. Oh yes, a partial list has been released:
UH OH — @MSNBC @NBCNews @CNBC
It looks like your parent company is helping to "DESTROY" the White House!!
Below is a list of donors who contributed to the new Big Beautiful Ballroom. 🤣

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but: I...don't really care about the White House renovations. Sure, they're unnecessary & indulgent, but other presidents have done them too, and it also doesn't affect me in the slightest bit. Who cares?— Billy Binion (@billybinion) October 23, 2025
So, can we stop the whining? MSNBC clowns, you literally funded what you call the desecration of the People’s House, which was also a silly term.
It’s feels almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon damage on 9/11.

I thought all they were tearing down was the portico of the east wing. That looks like it’s the entire east wing so I think that pic is BS.
Most purple prose, obvious and unsophisticated statement so far was the freak Anderson Cooper saying the heart of the White House has now been torn out of it.
Wow!
THAT’s a YUGE construction area.
I was wondering the same thing.
Nope, the East wing was removed entirely.
Probably 75% of them are at the top of the list of Biden donors.
“I thought all they were tearing down was the portico of the east wing.”
According to the schematic Greg Kelly showed, the only part to be demolished was that relatively small porch / portico area. Removing that would allow a better and more natural flow between the East Wing and the Ballroom.
Some people don’t know a good thing when it’s staring them right in the face. To be so hellbent against it is foolhardy.
Let’s hope it lasts past the next Democrat president. They all have a chromosome these days that triggers them to tear down anything a Republican has built.
The pic is not BS, the whole West Wing is gone.
That was then, this is now. The West Wing is gone.
East wing I mean, sorry. The whole East Wing is Gone.
East Wing is gone I mean, not West wing sorry
Why did it take 250 years before a flag flew at the Whitehouse? That's another piece of Trump's legacy.
Donations...So what...None of these folks need Trump’s help...They’re all doing fine.
This article says the East Wing will be rebuilt.
