"Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE."
"Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand."
"Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House over the period of a week to make way for the proposed 90,000 square-foot ballroom designed to accommodate some 1,000 seated guests. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the ballroom a much-needed and exquisite addition. The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building's entrance, Leavitt said. Trump has said the entire cost of the ballroom will be covered by himself and 37 corporate and private donors. One of the donors is Amazon, the business that made Jeff Bezos a billionaire. Another of his companies, The Washington Post, printed a favorable editorial on Saturday, praising Trump's aggressive approach to building the ballroom, lest the blueprints face death by a thousand papercuts by becoming bogged down in the bureaucracy of a traditional building review. MAGA attorney Jonathan Turley called Swalwell's suggestion, reckless, while Trump advisor Jason Miller called the lawmaker an idiot."
A proposal demands that any Democrat seeking the 2028 nomination pledge to demolish Donald Trump's $300 million White House ballroom on day one. The East Wing was demolished over a week to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom to seat about 1,000 guests. The White House press secretary described the ballroom as a much-needed, exquisite addition and argued it avoids using a large tent for major international functions. Trump says the entire cost will be covered by himself and 37 corporate and private donors, including Amazon. Supportive commentary praised rapid construction; critics called the proposed litmus test reckless and insulting.
