I actually think it’s a great idea to build a large ballroom on the White House grounds. It’s virtually impossible to hold events of any size there and they are always wasting millions on big tents and heaters and chairs and lights that look like a lawn wedding or homecoming. It’s not like we have Westminster Hall or the Palace of Versailles to host grand state dinners. We need this for gravitas. The East Wing was added in 1902, fully renovated in 1942, and had a facelift in 2004. It’s not part of the original structure and is only mildly historical.
But they whine anyway!
The beautiful 124-year-old East Wing of The White House, all of which is owned by The United States National Park Service, is being destroyed this week w/o any authorization.

And yes, that includes the demolition of the first family’s beloved movie theater, constructed in 1942. pic.twitter.com/KgYzg92cHG
Stop acting like you have some emotional attachment to the East Wing. You don’t. You can’t even find the right photo online.
The DNC is so mad that President Trump is building a new ballroom at the White House, they posted a sad Instagram video last night.

Too bad their intern put in a photo of the East Wing in Buckingham Palace, not the White House.

The best part about this faux outrage over Trump building a White House ballroom is that every future President, including Democratic administrations, is going to use it constantly because it’s an improvement.
For those of us who have actually **worked** in the East Wing, this is a welcome sight.

It both looked like, and smelled like, a 1979’s era midwestern split level. Just like my cousins used to live in.
The new building will look and feel POWERFUL and LUXURIOUS.
Can’t wait. https://t.co/xZ8Dn6OC43
JUST IN: The list of private donors for President Trump’s White House ballroom has been RELEASED.
Cue a cancel outburst. MSNBC will be especially pissed – they are owned by Comcast!
Just step away – you guys have nothing to say here – Lincoln Bedroom anyone?
Remember when the Clintons left with $190,000 worth of china, flatware, and sofas—that’s roughly $340,000 in today’s money—then got caught?

They claimed the donations were personal gifts.
