I Have a Question.......

I am reading where demolition has started on the East Wing of the White House to begin Trump's ballroom. I am appalled, bewildered, mystified and PISSEDOFF! It seems so ludicrous to me for him to be making a show room out of the White House. There are certain parts of it, if not all, that are traditionally a show case for history and democracy. Is it a place for him to make a discotheque out of or a place for a little more class to be shown? Aren't there organizations, clubs, etc. that want the White House to remain as it has been for many decades? Or is that old fashioned? Isn't it rather asinine for Trump to come in and make over the place with his gaudy gold statues and now this ballroom? Or am I just an old traditionalist that doesn't like to see change? Maybe I see Trumps idea of fashion and decor as gaudy, over the norm, and just too obnoxious for words. Does the White House need a makeover? Is this making anyone else even a bit disgusted? Or do I just feel extra old and traditional? Help!

These were my same thoughts. Food cards, SNAP, are not going to be good in November. WIC aid to little children and babies is dried up. So don't feed the kids or babies or families that need it, but hey, by all means lets have a ballroom and make the White House look tacky with all of that gold filigree he has put in the oval office. Very poor taste...very poor.

White House is not any personal property to be changed and renovated at some personal wish of any president. There must be rules and laws involved and some responsible bodies involved to take such decisions. He is cutting down on important things like Healthcare and putting money on all this that might be unnecessary.
