I really have little to offer about Donald Trump’s decision to tear down the East Wing of the White House to build a ballroom. I am left mostly to shake my head in utter astonishment that this moron would do such a thing to a cherished piece of our national history.

Trump once promised to leave the White House structure alone were he to make significant change in it. That he broke that promise is no surprise, but it doesn’t lessen the ghastly sight of he wrecking crews knocking down the place where heads of state have met with presidents and where important events have occurred.

I am going to presume that Trump will glitter the ballroom up with the gold trimmings he already has placed in the Oval Office and throughout the West Wing. The guy sickens me to my core.

You know, of course, who is paying for this ballroom. You and I are. The taxpayers. We’re going to pony up about $300 million for a project that received zero public comment prior to the arrival of the wrecking crew. And, yes, even the legality of this work is being questioned.

Trump just makes me want to hurl.
