WOW – You Won’t Believe Who Just Came To Trump’s Defense Over White House Ballroom

A lefty media outlet known for trashing President Donald Trump in any way, shape, or fashion on a daily basis, including using fake news and false accusations, just came to his defense over his construction — without using taxpayer funds — of a new White House ball room.

The Washington Post has published a piece that you probably would never expect them to write, much less to be written by the WaPo’s editorial board. Predictably, left-wing Democrats are losing their minds over it, but the Post revealed the reality of the situation:

Privately, many alumni of the Biden and Obama White Houses acknowledge the long-overdue need for an event space like what Trump is creating. It is absurd that tents need to be erected on the South Lawn for state dinners, and VIPs are forced to use porta-potties.

Well, then — looks like reality caught up with them. Of course the White House needs more space. It’s just common sense. Sending foreign dignitaries out to use porta-potties during official events isn’t exactly the image of American leadership.

And let’s not forget the absurd amount of taxpayer money wasted on temporary tents, rentals, and the logistical circus that comes with them. For an administration that supposedly cares about “efficiency,” this should’ve been a no-brainer years ago:

The State Dining Room seats 140. The East Room seats about 200. Trump says the ballroom at the center of his 90,000-square-foot addition will accommodate 999 guests. The next Democratic president will be happy to have this.

It’s classic Trump — he sees a problem, fixes it, and builds something that actually lasts. He’s creating a permanent space the country can use for years to come, and it’s not costing taxpayers a dime. That’s called leadership. And naturally, the Democrats are losing their minds over it. Only they could turn common sense into a controversy.

Let’s be real: if they ever get back into the White House, they won’t hesitate to use the new space. They’ll host their galas, cocktail parties, and press events there — pretending their tantrums over it never happened. That’s the Democrat way: scream first, benefit later.

The WaPo also noted how on how all the building rules in the nation’s Democrat-run capital tend to inhibit getting things done:

After a fence jumper got inside the White House in 2014, it was obvious that better perimeter fencing needed to be installed. But doing so involved five public meetings of the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) over two years, as members took pains to ensure the fencing complied with environmental rules. Construction didn’t begin until July 2019.

Or consider the modest Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial near the National Air and Space Museum. Congress authorized its creation in 1999. Architect Frank Gehry was selected in 2009. The NCPC rejected Gehry’s initial design proposal in 2014 before approving a revised plan the next year. The Commission of Fine Arts gave its approval in 2017. The memorial wasn’t opened until late 2020. By contrast, Eisenhower planned and executed D-Day in about six months.

That’s absolutely nuts — and a perfect example of how bloated government grinds everything to a halt. Bureaucracy doesn’t solve problems; it preserves them. Even The Washington Post is accidentally proving the point, tearing apart the Democrats’ bogus narrative about Trump’s ballroom project while sounding almost Republican in their frustration over government red tape.

It’s worth noting that Amazon was one of the donors to the new White House ballroom — and Jeff Bezos happens to own both Amazon and The Washington Post. Maybe that connection loosened the reins a bit, but whatever the reason, credit where it’s due: The Post actually reported the facts this time:

Trump joins a long list of presidents who have left their imprint on the White House. Theodore Roosevelt replaced greenhouses to construct the West Wing. William Howard Taft constructed the first Oval Office in 1909. Richard M. Nixon converted a swimming pool into the press briefing room in 1970. The modern East Wing wasn’t even built until World War II to cover up an underground bunker. Harry S. Truman gutted the White House interior and added the balcony that bears his name. Purists decried it. Now it’s a hallmark.

The White House cannot simply be a museum to the past. Like America, it must evolve with the times to maintain its greatness. Strong leaders reject calcification. In that way, Trump’s undertaking is a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere.

You can bet the Democrats are going to completely lose it over that. But if they do, it’ll just prove—yet again—how consumed they are by Trump Derangement Syndrome and how utterly detached they’ve become from basic common sense. The man can’t even build something practical and cost-free without them melting down.
