I'd actually be down for the ballroom if it looked like that.

    I mean, it's not the first time part of the white house has been torn down or renovated. What I personally dislike about this isn't that they're changing the white house. It's that they're changing the white house to accomodate Trumps constant need to be the center of attention.

    It'd be silly to keep the white house as built (Or reconstructed) in 1817, since it's actually being used, and is very much a workplace, but this renovation is just Trump needing somewhere in-house to host lavish dinner parties to be the center of attention.

    So yes, I am absolutely okay with destruction when it suits my esthetic.

    Or the lack of any transparency or planning.... Anyone else try to do this s*** especially democratic the Republicans would be up in arms.... No individual should be able to unilaterally make these changes that's not what the president's job is
