The most sane take in this whole ballroom fiasco comes from Shaun King

I actually think it's a great idea to build a big ballroom on the White House grounds.
It's virtually impossible to hold events of any size there and they are always wasting millions on tents and heaters and chairs and lights and everything else.
Stop acting like you have some emotional attachment to the East Wing. You don't.

No one minds the ballroom being built.
It's the false premise that Trump is paying for it, and pretending the “donations” received to fund it aren't just bribes.

Hey. I have a secret to tell you. Progressives lie.

There's renovations and construction going on all around the country. It's the narrative surrounding the building of this and the outlandish claims Trump makes that puts the focus on these things.

saw a straight, White, male friend on FB say that he was "literally shaking" in anger about Trump "demolishing the White House"

The current concern of the left regarding the Admin's White House addition/enhancement is just another example of deep rooted TDS and flippant attention spans of leftists. Next week their attention will turn towards something else. Vapid minds driven by the MSM.

I bet the Presidents that come after Trump. Will all appreciate him having the ballroom built. Even if they don't admit so publicly. The fact is people with TDS can't think or view the world without being outraged about the most mundane things. Irrational thinking that usually escalates into acting out, screaming, and being violent. Usually occurs to people that can't self reflect. Which leads to projection.

He’s demolishing the White House!
It’s not that it’s being built, it’s that he using taxpayer dollars!
It’s not that it’s privately funded. It’s that these are bribes!
….He didnt get approval from Congress!
…He’s not following proper protocols!
….He didn’t pull the proper city permit!
…his workers didn’t fill out a JSA!
Y’all don’t have an opinion on this that hasn’t been assigned to you. Nobody really gives a shite about this.

FACT: For more than a century, U.S. Presidents have been renovating, expanding, and modernizing the White House to meet the needs of the present day.
In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing — replacing expansive greenhouses constructed during the Jefferson Administration and establishing the modern day executive office wing with a “classically leaning design” — along with a colonial garden and East Terrace, which eventually became the East Wing.
In 1909, President William Howard Taft remodeled and expanded the West Wing, which included construction of the first Oval Office.
In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson demolished the colonial garden, modernizing it with a rose garden.
In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge oversaw the renovation of the upper floors and attic of the White House.
In 1929, President Herbert Hoover remodeled the West Wing, including reconstruction work in the basement level and remodeling the first floor; after a fire on Christmas Eve, the West Wing was repaired and reopened in 1930.
In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt overhauled the West Wing, adding a second floor, a larger basement, and a swimming pool, and relocating the Oval Office to its current location; in 1942, President Roosevelt constructed the East Wing.
In 1948, President Harry Truman undertook a “total reconstruction” of the White House’s interior, expanding its foundation and footprint — preserving only its exterior walls.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy constructed the modern Rose Garden.
In 1970, President Nixon converted the swimming pool into the press briefing room; in 1973, he added a bowling alley in the basement.
In 1975, President Gerald Ford installed an outdoor swimming pool on the South Grounds, financed entirely by private donations.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton undertook a restoration and refurbishment of the Executive Mansion.
In 2009, President Barack Obama resurfaced the south-grounds tennis court into a basketball court and added the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn.
In 2020, President Trump and the First Lady completed a new White House tennis pavilion, refurbishing the White House Tennis Court and Grandchildren’s Garden, as well as constructing a new building.

It’s Trump, both in how he presented it and how people who don’t like him responded to it. Comments like King’s are exceptions.

Rush Limbaugh said it best.
“Trump could cure cancer and democrats would say, ‘Trump is putting doctors out of work.’”
Some people will complain no matter what he does (or doesn’t do.)
