The Left’s Trump Derangement Syndrome Escalates With Meltdown Over White House Expansion
AMAC.us ^ | Friday, October 24, 2025 | Outside Contributor

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!

In case you got this far and bought into these obviously absurd takes, here’s the skinny about what’s really happening.

The White House is fairly modestly sized for the mansion of the head of state. The president in the American system must perform the political and ceremonial functions that come with that job, as is tradition handed down by President George Washington.

That means that the president must hold state dinners and other such things as a matter of regular diplomacy. The current space in the East Room of the...

It's pretty obvious to me that the White House ballroom will allow Presidents to hold state functions under a very tight security umbrella rather then in outside venues where security is much more problematic.

This would not be necessary if Democrats hadn't started shooting their political opponents.

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.

Folks: This is an utterly brilliant article from AMAC. The contrast they present is so striking and obvious, that I cannot even feel anger. It made me laugh, how vapidly stupid it makes the media look.

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:


LINK: CNN covers the 2010 Obama renovation of the White House that cost $376 million dollars and added a basketball court.



LINK: CNN covers the 2025 Trump renovation of the East Wing projected to cost $300 million dollars to add a ball room and upgrade the Presidential Bunker.

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.

Wait'll construction begins on the 250th Anniversary Arch of Triumph!

And who know what Trump will build after that?

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.
