".. Donald Trump won the 2024 election because of inflation. The issue was the most important to voters' choices in 2024, according to a Gallup poll. ..."

See, this is where you are wrong.

Trump won because the American electorate morally bankrupt.

Further evidence of this is that the American electorate no longer holds it's politicians accountable for prices.

When are the talking heads going to get that fact into their thick skulls?

I want to point out something I missed the first time around

CNN report from 2010: $376 million White House renovation during the Obama Administration. Where was the Democrat outrage then? Also that was paid for by the taxpayers.

AND

"...was funded by a congressional appropriation approved in 2008 under the George W. Bush administration."

Typical magat scum reaction whatabout that Obama did something when it was actually his predecessor

MSGT serious question can you read at a 5th grade level?

First

The 2010 White House renovation was a four-year, multi-million dollar infrastructure project to replace outdated and failing systems, primarily in the East and West Wings. The project, which was named the "White House Big Dig" by the press, involved excavating underground to upgrade electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems, and was funded by a congressional appropriation approved in 2008 under the George W. Bush administration.

How is that in any way comparable to what Trump is doing?

I ask without hope of getting a reply.

Second

Your observation about the Rose Garden is that Trump previously desecrated that space.

Again, the Rose Garden was the brain child of a beloved First Lady who was the wife of an assassinated president.

As such the Rose Garden holds special meaning to Americans or at least those who cherish their nation's history.

NO ONE is saying Trump and Melania cannot have an impact, even a permanent impact on the house. That is absolutely appropriate EVEN IF ------- IS A DICTATOR

We are saying that what ------- does should be respectful of the history of the White House. There are MANY ways he could have changed the White House and it's surroundings WITHOUT DESTROYING a third of it and then tripling the size of the building with a tacky pointless ballroom.

But, then again, you are too stupid to understand.

Ok, so the next dem president can just demolish the trump ballroom easy peasy

They also thought Congress would guard its power vociferously

They were bigly wrong there too

And giving Air Force 1

This is insane

This is not how a government should function.

Paying the military
Constructing public buildings

We are deep in banana territory

Adding tacky ------- gold painted ornaments to the oval office is disgusting but you won't hear me commenting on it as it is well within norms.

Paving over the garden planted by a beloved First Lady of an assassinated president is pissing on our history.

Some people ------- care about that ----. IT IS WHO WE ------- ARE. The White House is known as the People's House. Every president until this one has respected the relationship between his occupancy and the structure. Yes, changes can happen, but they should ONLY happen after careful consideration over the history and traditions that define us. A president is a temporary occupant of a building that belongs to ALL OF US. Trump is the first one to act like it is his house

Tearing down a wing of the WH to build a pointless ballroom is a breathtaking display of disrespect for our country

All because one single person wanted it.

He doesn't care about the countless Americans who hold that building precious as a secular symbol of the greatness of the promise of America.

He simply does not care about our history, ANYTHING that came before him means nothing to him.

It represents in a real tangible way how little he cares about what America is all about.

Bill uses artificial intelligence to express his natural stupidity

Anyone who argues past changes to the white house are in any way comparable to tripling the size of the white house is a disgusting vile, despicable liar.

Full ------- stop.

The White House is one the primary symbols of America and it's heritage.

No single person should just ------- change that, full ------- stop.

Anyone who argues differently is beneath contempt.

Trump is building a tacky, unnecessary eyesore that will serve zero purpose other than inflating his ------- ego. how many ------- balls does the white house have?

it is disgusting

it is pissing on our shared heritage

It is like smearing ---- on the walls of congress

Oh yeah, magat scum did that too

Christ this simplistic stupidity is breathtaking

Trump does not OWN the white house we do.

Since you're a simpleton, think of it this way, if you are a tenant, i.e. not a property owner, renting a house, can you just demolish the house without your landlord's approval?

There is LITERALLY NOTHING stopping trump from just demolishing the ENTIRE White House and building a 50 story Trump Tower there.

the disrespect, the ignorance, the downright meanness, the complete and utter disregard for our nation's history.

I heard someone say today and it is so true, Trump cares not one whit for our past or our future, only in the moment and how that moment impacts his immediate needs.

Why do you care? It is not your money.

If you hold this position, you are objectively a morally bankrupt individual.

Whoever raised you failed, miserably.

THING

Trump's ballroom is paid for by ... donors,

THAT IS NOT A GOOD THINK YOU ------- MORON!!!!!!!

This breaks my heart

Just a fact-based reminder

Trump is a temporary resident of the White House. He does not own it, nor does have even have control over it.

That building belongs to us, the US citizens.

Any significant change should ONLY come at the approval of the people's representatives-Congress.

And for those arguing that the people aren't paying for it, that is decidedly NOT a good thing. It is, in fact, decidedly, a bad thing.

That means ONLY that unknown actors are paying for access to the president, i.e. bribing him. That is OUR building, WE should be deciding it's construction and WE should be paying for it.

The "wrong" of this is so monumental as to beggar words.

This action has hit me harder in ways that other even worse things haven't, even the murdering he is doing.

Maybe it is my love of history, maybe it is my particular reverence for our heritage. Maybe it was I was prepared for the assaults on our liberties, I was prepared for murder, I was prepared for fascism. I was not prepared for the destruction of one of our nation's primary symbols.

I FEEL like I felt during the assault on the Capitol, like I am being violated.

This man has zero respect for our country; it is beyond despairing.

Ok this is actually funny

completely expected from a group of professional grifters, but funny nonetheless

According to the bible whores being reminiscing fondly about dicks the size of donkey ---- that blew gallons of ---

Ezekiel 23:19-21.

Any other belief is a belief based on nothing

My conclusion has the benefit of being fact based and logical and not childish

Think where you will be 100 years from now or 1000 years from now or 10,000 years or 100,000 years or a million or a billion

You were nothing 100 years ago or a 1000 years ago or 10,000 or a 100,000 or a million or a billion

You're just not that important

And your book is just a fairy tale for morons

A billion years from now or even 10,000 it will be nothing

This just in, there is no pineapple under the sea where Spongebob lives either.

Children will learn about it in school. Be honest, that's what's giving you the ------- warts about this whole situation.

The future will not be kind to ------- and the magat scum

He WILL go down as the most corrupt president in our history. It is to be seen whether he reigns over the actual collapse of our democracy.

One thing for certain is his grave will smell like piss

Fake like your outrage. Presidents in history have changed/added - it's not that hard to see. You however have an issue with THIS president doing it. And here's the kicker, It will always be known and the President Donald Trump Ball Room. Dedicated without the use of tax payer's money. It will be forever marked in history books. Children will learn about it in school. Be honest, that's what's giving you the ------- warts about this whole situation.

Adding tacky gold trim to the Oval office is remodeling, tripling the size of the WH to add a ------- ballroom and paving over the rose garden is grossly disrespectful to our shared heritage.

Only a ---- can't see that

Don't forget ------- is going to settle with the US for a quarter of a billion dollars for the government having the gall to investigate his crimes.

Just going to point out that adding a basketball court or bowling alley in discreet out of the way places is not the same as destroying half of the structure and doubling the square footage of the building
Any honest person who respects our country could see the difference.

Correction tripling

such ------- disrespect

-------- gilded --------- will be twice the size of the rest of the WH

so ------- disrespectful

------- magat scum

Rose garden before/after
i.e. elegant/tacky

As someone pointed out above

Built by the universally adored first lady of an assassinated president

Just utter disrespect of our country and it's heritage
