Why are people justifying an 80 year old demolishing the White House to build a fucking golden ball room. HES 80! Also why the fuck are politicians who are meant to serve the public getting fucking private planes? What a joke.

Because our system is corrupted with greedy evil old people that only want more money and not what’s best for the country. I have no hope tbh

presidents very frequently change the white house during their term. obama did it for example. why is it only a problem when trump does it? he’s privately funding it so there shouldn’t be so much controversy

It actually wasn’t at first. It was actually a really great country. It all fell apart with political parties. Then that’s when it was more about one party against the other. It’s also not working as intended because Trump has had no repercussions for everything he has done. Our government is trash

No it’s not. They don’t need a ballroom and they’re taking the east wing which is definitely a large part. They plan 90k sq ft, the white house itself is 55k. They have a budget of nearly 250 million dollars which they claim is through private donors, obviously this is a big project.

It’s minimum 20k. Also saying that is stupid because you don’t just want to give up on the country. You want things to improve and hope people wake up

It is part an extension and part demolition. Obviously they have to tear down walls to extend it plus wtf do we need 90k sq ft for that we didn’t already have a room for. Not to mention that 250 mil could be used for something a lot better.

Also just because we could have used the money for something better doesn’t mean we actually would have used it for something better. I’d prefer a big pretty room than a missile to launch at brown people personally

Yk what that’s a great way of looking at it because it’s honestly idealistic to think this administration would have done something good lmao. But also I think him being allowed to just tear something down is exactly the problem. Especially the part where he essentially says “well I’m the president so I’m just going to do it” when he was asked about zoning for the ballroom. I definitely see your point and I agree I just think this is bigger than just a wall being torn down.

It’s much different. No change this big has happened since the 40s. He’s adding 90k sq ft not just moving around some rooms or adding decorations.

To add on to 7 you do realize no actual non rich citizens will ever step foot in that ballroom. The only thing Obama added was a basket ball court. Which didn’t require demolishing a historic building

What about the millions funneled to homelessness, new homes to be built, and other countries that just disappeared. You’re made about privately funded money but not mad about our tax dollars going directly into the pockets of lobbyists and politicians pockets? Wild take

Private funds are private funds. Presidents are allowed to do what he is doing. Why would you care about a trivial matter when millions of actual tax dollars are being stolen on a daily basis. That’s akin to being upset there is a steak on the window if your new car, but the entire engine is missing
