Tearing down some or part of the East Wing of the White House for an unneeded ballroom
in order to have the grand balls to inflate a crazy man’s ego is insane.

The White House was a master piece of architecture and part of America’s family fabric and it
has 2 purposes:

Offices for the executive branch of the federal government to run the country and as a living
quarters for the President and his or her family. BTW the White House already has a perfectly
good and elegant ballroom it doesn’t need a tasteless monstrosity that makes a man with no
taste happy.

America is over.
