Americans disapprove of Trump's White House ballroom project — and East Wing demolition — by a more than 2-to-1 margin

Obviously, if it had been put to a vote, the majority of people would vote to preserve the historic offices of the First Lady, rather than to build a gaudy monstrosity of a gold-gilded grand ballroom.
If only they’d asked, but they don’t care.
Trump wouldn't even go through the traditional public process of consulting the planning commission.
A gold gilded monstrosity of a ballroom is what Trump wanted. I've never heard a single person in my life say that what the White House needs is a massive gold gilded ballroom that dwarfs the White House itself.
Never
I know. Like all the other insane and evil things trump does - his acolytes both in the administration and here hustle to backfill behind it with their twisted rationalizations - like when stupid people say, "stop complaining, we'll love it when it's done".
The world will not judge us by the size of our ballroom. DonOld visits these countries that have grand ballrooms from the past and he thinks America needs this status symbol to show our wealth.
What the American would rather have is Medicare for all health insurance.

Fake news; random numbers.
These sorts of improvements to the White House are nothing out of the ordinary. You are only being manipulated into being BIG MAD about it because it is Orange Man Bad who is the current President and you're supposed to HAAAAAATE him with a burning violent passion.
Very true.
We are a democratic republic. We have never placed the trappings of royalty around our democratically elected representatives.
Trump is trying to recreate the grandiose gilded extravagance of the French kings and Russian tsars.

You don't give a single fuck about any "history". Stop pretending, Crypress.
The building blocks of a strong economy have been put in place all throughout this year, and some positive results of that work have already been noticeable. You will more noticeably reap the benefits once next year rolls around. Seeds take a while to grow into trees, and even then, it takes a while for the trees to start bearing fruit. Be patient.

I doubt there is a poster here who has written more frequently about the value and importance of history.
Why do you keep pushing back the timeline of when Trump is supposedly going to be "successful"?
Trump promised to end inflation on Day One.
He promised to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
He guranteed "200 deals in 100 days".

Lmfao, oh a Yahoo survey, oh my God. We should use Yahoo surveys to govern the whole country don't you think? I don't know about you but I've heard it's one of the most reliable polls ever.
Seriously though I think you libtards should stick with this ballroom scandal thing, make it the number one issue going into the midterms. I like Eric Swalwell's idea, every Democrat that doesn't promise to tear it down on day one of a new democrat administration should not be allowed to run. In fact, Swalwell should be the leader you sorry bastards are looking for.
Again, I fully support the Ballroom outrage. To think an American president would build a ballroom using taxpayer dollars in a time like this is despicable at best. Oh wait a minute, I forgot, it's not costing American taxpayer a single dollar. Oh well, that doesn't matter he's obviously doing this so he can have big dinners there and promote his businesses, right?

Oh PLEEEEEEASE. Stop pretending that you care about "preserving history". You're happy to vandalize and destroy any historical statue, monument, or flag that "burns your grits".
Sections of the White House have repeatedly been renovated over the years without a peep from you or anyone else, but now that "Orange Man Bad" is the President, it's "sooooooooooo horribleeeeeee what he's doinggggg omgzzzzz"
