@nytimes: Construction workers ripped the face off the East Wing on Monday as construction of President Trump’s $250 million (or so he estimates) ballroom entered its next phase. The plans for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom constitute one of the largest renovations to the building in decades. Trump pledged that construction wouldn’t “interfere with the current building,” a promise that always seemed unrealistic given the grand scale of the plans. #WhiteHouse #Trump
He said he wasn't going to touch it. Same thing they told girls.

Kids are losing snap benefits. Healthcare and groceries prices are out of control. And he's building a ballroom for him and his billionaire friends.

This is a "let them eat cake" moment! Removing SNAP benefits, but spending $200 million on an unnecessary ballroom is utterly reprehensible

I’m 61. I’ve never heard past Presidents or politicians say the White House needed a ballroom.

He has desecrated the White House. This is contemptible.

250 million for health care premium credits would be a lot better use of the funds.

If they wanted a ballroom in the last 150 years they would have already built it.

When the rose garden initially got destroyed in his first term I was horrified. This is an abomination and the lack of respect for the structure and its history is beyond upsetting.
