      I mean, it’s not the first time part of the white house has been torn down or renovated. What I personally dislike about this isn’t that they’re changing the white house. It’s that they’re changing the white house to accomodate Trumps constant need to be the center of attention.

      It’d be silly to keep the white house as built (Or reconstructed) in 1817, since it’s actually being used, and is very much a workplace, but this renovation is just Trump needing somewhere in-house to host lavish dinner parties to be the center of attention.

      So yes, I am absolutely okay with destruction when it suits my esthetic.

        Or the lack of any transparency or planning… Anyone else try to do this s*** especially democratic the Republicans would be up in arms… No individual should be able to unilaterally make these changes that’s not what the president’s job is

      It’s more the honesty of intentions, with creating it in the first place.

      The Emperor demands obedience, after all. amirite?

      Trump building a ballroom no skirting the bureaucracy is one the lest bad things he has done. I‘m actually surprised he hasn’t started construction of a much more monumental building in Washington or elsewhere. Trump loves building and autocrats love to build monuments to their ego.
