'God awful!' Trump's 'hideous' ballroom greeted with explosion of negative public comments
Americans have had a lot to say ever since President Donald Trump knocked down the White House's historic East Wing to make way for his ballroom. It turns out that the people have spoken — and they're pretty unhappy with the president's plans.
The Swamp, the Daily Beast's Substack, reviewed 32,000 public comments submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission ahead of the design meeting slated for tomorrow at the commission’s D.C. headquarters. The more than 9,000 pages reveal a common theme, with an overwhelming number of people urging the planning commission to stop the ballroom construction. They instead call for rebuilding the East Wing.
"But the president’s home is also the People’s House—and the people don’t like Trump’s plan to turn it into Dance-a-Lago," The Swamp reported.
The public comments revealed just how people feel about it:
"DO NOT BUILD THIS god AWFUL MONSTERS RIDICULOUS BALLROOM!" One person wrote, using Trump's signature writing style.
"NO GAUDY FAKE GOLD STUFF ALL OVER THE PLACE," another commented.
"Please do whatever is within your power to stop and permanently prevent trump from ruining our White House any further with the hideous ballroom," Karen Centers commented.
"DO NOT ALLOW DONALD J TRUMP OR ANY OTHER FOOL REMODEL,CHANGE,DESTROY REARRANGE, WHATEVER VERBAGE THERE IS TO DESTROY THE 'PEOPLES HOUSE' IT IS NOT HIS! THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A TOPIC,OR DISCUSSION BUT THE CRAZY FOOL IS AT THE WHEEL. THIS IS HISTORY! LEAVE IT ALONE!! THANK YOU!" Donna Cook wrote, also borrowing the same all-caps writing tone as Trump.
"Shame! Shame!" Leesa Shemtov wrote.
