In case you haven’t noticed, Democrats are in full-on meltdown mode over Trump’s addition of a ballroom to the White House. Tweets on X accompanied by pictures of the construction decry the project as an assault on the White House and America itself. As usual, it’s completely over the top.
The rhetoric from Democratic leaders is just as deranged. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went on MSNBC this week and vowed to investigate the donors who are funding this project.
Democrats constantly claim that Trump is targeting his enemies, then, in the same breath, vow to do the same.
From Townhall:
Jeffries said, without evidence, that the donors were probably using the donations to curry favor with the Trump administration.”More likely, this is part of what Donald Trump has been doing since day one of his presidency: running the largest pay-to-play scheme in the history of the country. And probably soliciting donations from people who’ve got business before the United States government,” Jeffries said.”And all of this is going to have to be investigated. It will. All of this will have to be uncovered. It will. And these people are going to be held accountable, no matter how long it takes,” Jeffries continued. “And that’s a warning to all of these people participating in this scheming to manipulate taxpayer dollars and, of course, to destroy the people’s house. The White House belongs to the American people. It doesn’t belong to Donald Trump.”Right. And 75 million Americans voted for Donald Trump to be president. It’s their house, too. Hakeem Jeffries went on MSNBC and threatened people who are making lawful donations to improve the White House.
Watch the clip below:
Some people have been surprised by the level of hysteria from the left over the ballroom. See this tweet from Mark Halperin:
I think the simple explanation for the freak out is that Democrats know that this will be a permanent reminder of Trump. It will be a visible part of his legacy from which they will never be able to escape.
For fun, I’ll leave you with this clip of CNN covering changes to White House under Obama. See if you can spot the difference in tone.
