Leftists are going bonkers about President Trump building a big, beautiful 90,000 sf ballroom that will hold nearly 1,000 people. Currently, the White House can only hold state dinners/events for 300 people. When they need more space, the administration needs to rent a tent, rent flooring, rent tables, rent chairs, rent heaters or air conditioners. Oh, they also need to rent porta-potties!

The big, beautiful ballroom is being built with private funds. Yet somehow lunatic leftists had no issues when any other president renovated the White House, doing everything from rebuilding rooms, upgrading facilities, and redesigning and redecorating interior spaces, changes almost invariably done using taxpayer funds.

Comcast, which owns MSNBC, is among the many corporations that have donated to build the big, beautiful ballroom. Yet, most of MSNBC’s hosts and commentators are kvetching about the ballroom. Leftists should study history as to the multiple times the White House has been renovated since it was rebuilt following the War of 1812. Moreover, the ballroom construction is being done at the eastern edge of the White House. The iconic, presidential part of the White House, as we think of the building, is the West Wing. 

 

Rep. Eric Swalwell wants ballroom demolished No one suggested that a Republican president should destroy Barack Obama’s $40 MILLION taxpayer funded basketball court, but Rep. Eric Swalwell from the Peoples Republic of California said:

“Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.”

Swalwell is a lunatic, which is why he is a congressman from California. Even the Washington Post supports the privately funded $300 million ballroom that will hold 1,000 people. Walking back his asinine statement a few days later Swalwell suggested that the next president could keep the ballroom but rename it after Barack Obama. 

Of course, people responded that they didn’t think President Vance would want to do that.
