Hey folks look at the bright side. We still have two-thirds of the building still standing. Perhaps the "Trump Entity" will leave us two-thirds of the constitution intact as well? Say he might get rid of the first few "inalienable rights", such as Freedom of Speech and Religion, and have some of his corporate "doners" replace them with something more to their liking? Free of charge to the nation of course. What could possibly go wrong?

Thanks for your manufactured outrage, Ms. Freydoz, but I’d venture a guess that more folks are concerned about treasonous Obama and Biden’s actions to prevent our (yes, our) great President Trump from becoming President, twice. But if the most important criticism you have of Trump is the “free” Big Beautiful Ballroom, go for it. We all know shame is apparent due to the treachery of Obama and Biden and their supporters. Have a Trump-tastic day!

Hello Maggie - why not turn this around and view the new addition as an improvement to the White House facilities? No matter how much you view this as a negative, why not follow Mr. Thom's advice and laud the beauty of this improvement. The ballroom is going to be built regardless of your TDS affliction and most visitors to the WH will surely be impressed. Your understanding of "shame" may need a recalibration. And, as an aside, Mr. Crotchett's blather proved again that education and age do not necessarily result in wisdom.
