The president says the sound of bulldozers at the East Wing is “music to my ears.”
“You probably hear the beautiful sound of construction to the back,” Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday from a podium overlooking his newly paved “Rose Garden Club” terrace, alongside the new “Presidential Walk of Fame” featuring gold-framed portraits of his predecessors (and an “autopen” for Joe Biden).
“You hear that sound?” he said, raising his hand to his ear as if to savor the clamor from construction of the new $300 million White House ballroom that began Monday.
“Ahhh, that’s music to my ears. I love that sound. Other people don’t like it, I love it.”
It was a wry jab at Trump-deranged critics of his big, beautiful ballroom, who are losing their minds over his beautification of the White House.
Suddenly, the people who cheered on as vandal revolutionaries toppled statues of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln or tore down Confederate monuments are ardent preservers of American history.
“Just grotesque,” snarled renowned aesthete, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Scarborough.
“It’s history being torn to shreds.”
This is the guy who championed “Fort Al Sharpton” to supplant the historic titles of military bases named after Confederate generals.
“It’s not his house,” tweeted Hillary Clinton, whose best-known contribution to the White House was making off with $28,000 of furniture when she and Bill moved out.

For what it’s worth, there is something “hot” about Miranda Divine.
But I digress.....
so much noise about this.the usual “if it’s Trump then the answer is ‘no’ jazz.”A apparently they took away Jefferson’s colonnade in 1902. that would have been worth preserving but probably were not able. glad to know there will finally be a security roof.
NYP’s Miranda Devine writes so eloquently......and is an ace reporter, as well.
If they Democrats ever get back into power, maybe they'll honor Democrat Presidents similarly with a Clinton Massage Parlor, an Obama Bath House, and a Biden Crack Room.
| NYP’s Miranda Devine writes so eloquently... * * * Yes, Liz! Miranda's a national treasure -- courtesy of Australia, the land of her birth. The access she's been given to President Trump's cabinet is unparalleled. Freepers should check out her Pod Force One with Miranda Devine Youtubes. Thoroughly enjoyable. She really brings out the expertise and insights of the people she interviews. And these relaxed and engaging conversations, NOT boring Q&A! Look at the lengthly (1 hour+) interviews she's held with: Scott Bessent, President Trump, Howard Lutnick, Tulsi Gabbard, Suzie Wiles, Megan Kelley, Mike Johnson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kristi Noem... Don't have time to watch the full video? Well, you can access an index of topics to click to the part of the video you want to watch. But where do you find the index or transcript of the video? Below the video itself, you'll see a brief summary paragraph. At the end of that you'll see the word ... more. Click that, then scroll down to either the index or transcript. That way you can navigate the video to exactly the topics you're interested in... |
Thx for tips to watch the great Miranda.
