if Barack Obama had torn down the east wing of the White House in order to build a ballroom. repeatedly promised it would all be privately funded and would not "cost taxpayers a dime", then turned around and had congressional democrats demand taxpayers shell out a cool billion to fund it.

2. "if Barack Obama had torn down the east wing of the White House..." Stop right there, no need to go any further.

I still can't get past the fact Trump demolished the entire East Wing, in the dark of night, without any legal right or authorization, and no one's done shit about it.

12. It's...yeah. You Don't DO things like that! Well, obviously he did...

A whole wing?! Wtf! No excuse for such wholesale destruction! It's still terrible!
And the ballroom? Fuck that!

I visited the WH decades back. I did some quick drawings soon after.
I came upon them a few weeks ago. They included the East Wing entrance room. I sighed.
Can't always get angry (not healthy), but damn.
