Trump can't build a dinky ballroom because he doesn't know what he's doing!

Congress couldn’t build an outhouse without multiple change orders and funding debates.

In other words a one person shitter.

Why reveal to the world, what’s being built to protect future leaders of the free world, using, private funds?

All that exist in Congress are failures of the legal system in this country. And the Founding Fathers had enough of those to start it all.

You never hear much about what is being built under the ballroom area.

So these Presidents owned the white house? I swear, I learn something new on this website every single day!

Here is a list of U.S. presidents who oversaw notable upgrades, renovations, expansions, or structural improvements to the White House (the main residence or its key additions like the wings). Nearly every president and first lady has made some changes—such as redecorating rooms, updating furnishings, or adding artwork—but the following stand out for more significant architectural, structural, or functional upgrades.

Early Period (Post-Construction and Reconstruction)James Monroe (1817–1825):

Oversaw the rebuilding of the White House after it was burned by British forces in 1814 during the War of 1812. He moved back in during 1817 while work continued. He also commissioned the South Portico (completed around 1824).

Andrew Jackson (1829–1837):
Oversaw the addition of the North Portico (completed around 1829–1830), creating the iconic columned entrance facing Pennsylvania Avenue.

19th Century Interior and Grounds Changes

Thomas Jefferson (1801–1809):
Added the East and West Colonnades (covered walkways connecting the main house to service buildings) for better functionality and symmetry.

Chester A. Arthur (1881–1885): Commissioned a lavish Victorian-style redecoration of public rooms, including work by designer Louis Comfort Tiffany (e.g., a large glass screen).

Major 20th Century Expansions and Modernizations

Theodore Roosevelt (1901–1909):
Led a major renovation in 1902 that modernized interiors, removed Victorian conservatories (greenhouses), and added the West Wing (initially temporary) to separate executive offices from the residence. This addressed overcrowding and created dedicated office space.

William Howard Taft (1909–1913): Remodeled and expanded the West Wing, including the creation of the first Oval Office.

Calvin Coolidge (1923–1929):
Oversaw a 1927 renovation that rebuilt the roof (replacing weakened wood trusses with steel) and added a full third floor for additional living and office space.

Herbert Hoover (1929–1933):
Remodeled parts of the West Wing (including basement and first floor) after a 1929 fire; repairs and reopening occurred in 1930.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933–1945): Expanded the West Wing in 1934 (adding a second floor, larger basement, and relocating the Oval Office to its current position for privacy); added an indoor swimming pool (for his use due to polio). In 1942, he oversaw construction of the current East Wing (partly to conceal an underground bunker during WWII).

Mid-20th Century Structural Overhaul

Harry S. Truman (1945–1953):
Directed the most extensive renovation in White House history (1948–1952). Due to severe structural issues (the building was at risk of collapse), the interior was completely gutted and rebuilt with a new steel frame, concrete floors, a deeper foundation, and modern systems—while preserving the original exterior walls. The family lived in Blair House during this time. The residence expanded from 48 to 54 rooms, and Truman added features like a balcony (the "Truman Balcony"). This is often called the Truman Reconstruction.

Later Notable Changes (Post-Truman)

After Truman's overhaul, changes have generally been less structural and more focused on interiors, grounds, or specific amenities. Examples include:John F. Kennedy / Jacqueline Kennedy (1961–1963): Major historical restoration and redecoration of rooms with period furnishings and artwork (broadcast in a famous TV tour).

Richard Nixon (1969–1974):
Converted the indoor pool into the Press Briefing Room; added or modified other amenities.

Gerald R. Ford (1974–1977):
Installed an outdoor swimming pool on the South Lawn.

Other presidents (e.g., Barack Obama adapted the tennis court for basketball; various first ladies like Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama led garden redesigns, room refurbishments, or additions like the Kitchen Garden).

The White House marker in the Entrance Hall highlights four key dates for major construction/renovation phases: 1792 (original build), 1817 (post-fire rebuild), 1902 (Roosevelt era), and 1952 (Truman completion). A 1927 Coolidge project is sometimes noted as an additional significant upgrade.

These projects often faced criticism over cost, aesthetics, or disruption at the time, but many (like the West Wing and Truman rebuild) fundamentally shaped the modern White House. Smaller updates continue with each administration to maintain the building. For the most current or detailed visuals, official White House Historical Association resources provide extensive documentation

They literally can't. In 2022, SF tried to build a single outdoor toilet for the homeless and the cost estimate came in $1.7 million with a three year timeline. Obviously, the project fell apart, so a private company offered to donate all of the equipment and provide installation. Problem solved, right? Wrong. Based on this generous donation, the SF city planners came back with a revised estimate of $1.2 million.

In other words, over 70% of the cost associated with building a single toilet in deep blue California was government grift, waste, and bureaucracy.

Trump melts down as judge halts White House ballroom project, attacks ‘radical group of lunatics’

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ranted against the “radical left group of lunatics” that sued him over his White House ballroom project after a federal judge halted the construction because congressional approval is needed.

Newsom can't build a high speed rail in 10 years. And the cost now?

quote:

Originally projected to cost $33 billion, the project’s estimated cost has ballooned to over $128 billion.

Yeah, until you find out its built with private donations.
Kinda doesnt need congress, lol.

Idiots believe approval needed.

Yep...and its private funds. Judge is to stupid to realize
