So now we need a Ballroom?

 
The apologists want to focus on what this monstrosity costs, not on it what it is. As a tribute to Trump it's great. Big, showy, unserious and expensive, whether he ever dances in it or not. Question is should the WH or a big part of it be a tribute to the person of the President who lived there for a time? At least as to this tribute the country is saying NO.

Trump has made it clear, he is planning on never leaving. Except he will not live long. Then the royal family will fight among themselves to appoint a new king. The Donald Trump Gold Ballroom and souvenir shop will go into history. It may become a place of worship for future Trumpys.

It was part of the 1961 Congressionally approved renovations. It went through all the reviews, and had a team of archeologists on hand to deal with any artifacts turned up...

AND IT DID NOT INVOLVE DESTROYING ANY HISTORIC BUILDINGS!!!

trump just destroyed a third of the White House. It is irreplaceable, but any value you put on it would have to be in the billions. There was no attempt to preserve anything. There was no review.

Don't you think you should explain why anyone should care?

All right, I'll ask: So what?

Why should anyone care that Harry Truman gutted and rebuilt the Executive Residence?

Explain. It would appear that you don't know what a narcissist is. Imagine that, you are using another word without knowing what it means.

We've had 44 prior Presidents and none were willing to donate their own funds/resources to augment the White House with a ballroom. Fortunately, there is a first for everything.

Trump has laid out why we need one. What reason are you citing for why we need to not have one?
