‘A lot of Americans could not enjoy Obama’s basketball court, or Clinton’s running track and putting green’
President Donald Trump announced months ago that he had organized a program to design and build a huge ballroom on the campus of the White House in Washington.
The federal facilities there never have had a place to deliver state banquets for more than a few dozen, and the new program, in replacement of the 1940s-era East Wing, will seat hundreds.
Further, Trump has organized private donors to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars, saving taxpayers a lot.
But leftists are unhappy, with Hillary Clinton complaining he’s tearing down the White House and it’s not his.
Other comments included the astute claim, “Obama would have been immediately impeached for this.”
Many Democrat comments descended immediately to the graphic and are not reproducible in a civilized publication.
But now the truth is being delivered.
For example, Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley said this project, unlike the Nixon bowling alley, Obama basketball court and the like, will benefit future presidents and even the public.
“A lot of Americans will be able to enjoy that ballroom. A lot of Americans could not enjoy Obama’s basketball court, or Clinton’s running track and putting green, or Gerald Ford’s swimming pool. You know, a lot of Americans couldn’t enjoy those things, but a lot of Americans will be able to enjoy the ballroom,” Shirley told Washington Secrets.
A report at Fox said the Trump administration had launched a trolling campaign against critics.
The White House website, for instance, was detailing “major events timeline” at the site that dates to 1791, when it first was launched.
“The timeline includes a series of benchmarks such as the addition of the north portico from 1829 to 1830, and the addition of the Oval Office in 1909 under the Taft administration and the ‘total reconstruction’ of the White House interior under the Truman administration,” the report said.
