Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner had some words Tuesday for President Donald Trump's White House ballroom at the annual slavery commiseration at the President's House in Old City.
The 24th annual commiseration occurred as city leaders and advocates continue to fight a legal battle to get an exhibit on slavery at the site restored after the Trump administration replaced panels at the exhibit.
Krasner, who was one of the speakers at the event, said that President Donald Trump is a "pain in the ass" and an "embodiment of hate, the embodiment of ignorance and the embodiment of depriving people of their vote and education."
Krasner also said that the President's House site with a memorial and educational content will continue to exist in the years to come, while Trump's ballroom will not.
"In about 10 to 15 years, we are all going to be sitting here with smiles on our faces," Krasner said. "And I'm going to have a paper weight sitting on my desk. And do you know what that paper weight's going to be? It's going to be a piece of the ballroom after we blow it up."
Krasner also said that the ballroom's explosion will be done in an "official ceremony," and the ballroom's pieces will be sold to pay back the taxpayers.

I don’t get it. What is this guy talking about?
Sounds like another terrorist threat to me.
Better send some FBI agents round.
Gibberish. He has chronic TDS.
So he wants to blow up the White House.
Krasner- another left wing self loathing Jew....
It takes one to know one.
Krasner is from the City State of Philadelphia, not America
IIRC, the taxpayers didn’t fund the ballroom.
High-profile public figures / rhetoric
Kathy Griffin (May 2017)
Comedian posed for photos holding a realistic, bloody, severed head made to look like President Trump (in the style of an ISIS-style beheading). The images went viral, prompted widespread condemnation across the political spectrum, led to her firing from CNN’s New Year’s Eve show, and triggered a Secret Service investigation. She later apologized, saying she “went too far.”
Larry Krasner (August 25–26, 2026)
Philadelphia District Attorney publicly stated at a press event that Trump’s planned White House ballroom would be “blown up” in an “official ceremony” (once political control changed), with pieces sold as paperweights and one kept on his desk. The remarks were widely reported and criticized as inflammatory.
Other documented / charged threats and plotsBrandon Koss (January 2018)
Kansas man called the White House and stated “I’m going to blow up the White House.” He was charged with making threats against the President.
Sai Varshith Kandula (May 2023)
Drove a rented U-Haul truck into White House security barriers. He displayed a Nazi flag and told investigators he intended to seize power / attack the White House (and would have killed the president if necessary). He was later sentenced to 8 years in prison.
Let me understand this. Larry Krasner, you are a Democrat and your Party has been tearing down Confederate Statues or any other sign of slavery. Yet you want to fight a legal battle to get an exhibit on slavery at the site restored. Question Larry, which way is the wind blowing today?
“ Krasner, who was one of the speakers at the event, said that President Donald Trump is a “pain in the ass”
We’re all becoming aware of how projection presents itself
You’d expect this kind of crazy talk from the fringes, but he’s a big city DA.
“” Krasner- another left wing self loathing Jew.... “
And there are so many of them in powerful positions, and most loathe America, too.
Destroying good things - how Democratic!
The White House would have to go back to tents. It would be in keeping with the big Blue city camping lifestyle.
Like California’s “Nick Shirley Act”, when will blue state TDS victims just pass state laws making Donald Trump illegal?
Krasner has no future. He’s begging for relevance.
Blind, unreasoning hatred - a Democratic disease!
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, I’ll bet when Larry was in kindergarten he didn’t get ‘plays well with others’.
Our only hope is that significant numbers of people who have voted RAT will see the insanity and vote 'R.' I.e., "swing" voters.
