I like albaby and I read all his posts, even when I disagree with him. He seems rational and is often thought provoking.

And yes, I completely disagree with his position about the Ballroom. That’s OK, and it doesn’t change the first two sentences of my post.

When I see pictures of the East Wing being demolished, only to be rebuilt in the gaudiest manner possible, I have different thoughts.

I see a selfish billionaire who only cares about satisfying his own infantile ego.

I see a great many Americans struggling to afford rising costs of food and clothing. They struggle to afford basic healthcare. And housing. And cars. Even jobs. I see farmers struggling to survive. I see a lot of Americans in need of help.

And the presidents response is to spend hundreds of millions, not on helping these Americans (including a large part of his base), but on building a gold-plated ballroom for his own use.

To me, it screams “Let them eat cake”, as well as a big “fuck you” to struggling Americans (mainly due to Trump’s policies).
