The White House is adding a ballroom and it’s basically the end of the world.
That’s been the media message the last few days as the Left has been in near hysterics about a much-needed expansion to the president’s mansion. I guess the government shutdown isn’t going quite as well as they thought.
“‘It’s your house. And he’s destroying it’: Trump demolishes White House East Wing,” reads a headline from Politico.
“Trump is destroying the entire White House East Wing to feed his ego,” reads another headline on MSNBC.
This is, truly, one of the dumbest media-concocted “scandals” of the Trump era. And that’s saying a lot.
If the legacy media headlines are to be believed, Trump is demolishing the White House in a brazen act of diabolical demolition.
Not to be outdone, Democrats are sounding the alarm about what is surely the end of democracy, which has come to an end at least a dozen times since 2016.
Here is California Gov. Gavin Newsom who bravely dared to show the country this picture of construction taking place next to the White House. Oh, excuse me, a picture of Trump “literally destroying the White House.”
What a monster! Trump is finishing the job the British started in the War of 1812! The ghost of Abigail Adams weeps!

I can’t believe Fang Fang’s Swillhell wants the RATS to tear the ballroom down when they steal another election.
Got to love Larry’s sense of humor. Truly funny.
LOL!!
In summary, you want to see how deranged and double-standardized the Left of today is, from the Leftists in government, to their collaborative Leftist Media, to the "Rank and File" Leftists on the street screeching in outrage, watch these two links in quick succession:

Compare the facial expressions on the CNN talking head both then, and now. They were happy and joyful in 2010, that was so much joyous fun, and today, it is the end of democracy as we know it! This is so stark it is hilarious.
And the Leftist Media, particularly CNN, wonders why fewer and fewer people are tuning in to hear what they have to say.

An oldie, but a goodie.
When did he last get released from the clutches of the local Dollar Store?
And who know what Trump will build after that?
bkmk
Thinking the same. They’re absolutely losing their minds over this, and will rabidly attack the arch project.
The next democrat president to take office will tear it down. Why? Because it will be one of his campaign promises and is easy to fulfill without any lasting blow back.
