While the federal government is shut down, Federal employees aren’t being paid, and many people are about to see their health insurance premiums surge, Donald Trump is building a 90,000 sq. ft. $200 million ballroom by tearing down the East Wing of the White House. The horrific photos of the destruction are yet another reflection of the disdain he and his enablers have for our democracy and our history. It’s all about King Donald.
The White House is a historic and hallowed building on public land that Trump does not own. He is simply a temporary occupant. While previous U.S. presidents made modest White House renovations, Trump will demolish the entire East Wing.
D.C. monuments were built to celebrate freedom, not indulgence. This ballroom for the wealthy will stand as a monument to Trump’s greed, nihilism and corruption.
Trump and his enablers make their contempt and apathy for our nation’s ideals abundantly clear.
