Throughout the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, the American people have been bombarded by relentless displays of his ignorance, conceit, vulgarity, and political and personal atrocities. It has been a non-stop barrage of the worst imaginable descent into the abyss of an egomaniacal madman’s determination to reign as a dictator.

Recent events in Minneapolis have exacerbated the sorry state of the union. The execution of Alex Pretti, an American citizen who was lawfully protesting the inhumane tactics of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs, has captured the attention of the country, most of whom are appalled and disgusted and determined to see that Trump’s criminal cohorts are brought to justice.

In addition to Pretti’s murder, the second one by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the American people have had to endure a steady stream of Trumpian bullshittery such as his attack on Venezuela, his efforts to annex Greenland, his imposition of punitive tariffs on U.S. allies, skyrocketing prices on everything from groceries to housing to health insurance premiums, lawsuits and regulatory assaults on the free press, and too much more to enumerate.

While all of this is going on, Trump has seen fit to focus his congenitally shrunken attention span on one of the issues that he thinks matters most to the population at large: His $400 million dollar vanity ballroom that he’s building to replace the historic East Wing of the White House that he illegally demolished. And in support of that gilded hall of elitism, Trump posted an insufferably long-winded comment on his pitifully failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It’s way to long to repost in its entirety, but can be seen in this Bluesky skeet for those with the stomach for it.

However, there are some choice excerpts that are worth revealing in order to preserve the sheer asininity of Trump’s thinking. He began by actually making an apt observation about his ballroom obsession, saying that he is pursuing it “on top of everything else that I am doing.” Which isn’t something a sane person would brag about. Then he continued…

“I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money…This is a GIFT.”
Why Trump thinks that the White House needs the world’s greatest ballroom is pure lunacy. And it is not a “gift” just because it’s being paid for by his billionaire buddies. That would more accurately be called a bribe. Also, last October Trump claimed that he was also paying for the ballroom himself. But as usual, there is zero evidence of that.

Trump called it “a desperately needed space, sought for over 150 years…for big and important STATE EVENTS, Dinners, Meetings, Conferences.”
It can hardly be described as “desperately needed” if we survived without it for 250 years. And for all of that time we have never lacked any place to host state events.

Then Trump whines that “I got sued, this time by the Radical Left National (No!)Trust for Historic Preservation, a group that couldn’t care less about our Country!”
That’s right. Trump is being tormented by those well known radical subversives at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

And Trump lies that “Congress never tried, or wanted, to stop the Ballroom Project!”
In reality, many Democratic members of Congress did try to stop Trump’s ballroom, But they have been in the minority and Republicans refused to go along. What’s more, the National Trust for Historic Preservation that is suing Trump is actually a congressionally chartered agency.

Trump falsely asserts that the “White House [is] a place that a President has never needed permission to change or enhance.”
That is diametrically opposite of the truth.

Trump makes the preposterous claim that “it is being done with the design, consent, and approval of the highest levels of the United States Military and Secret Service.”
So what? Those agencies have absolutely no authority over any of this.

The reason that Trump is lashing out about this now has to do with recent developments with the lawsuit that he mentioned. It is not going well for him in court. As reported by Newsweek…

“U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, appointed by former Republican President George W. Bush, raised doubts during a hearing on whether President Donald Trump can proceed with tearing down the historic East Wing and replacing it with a massive new structure on federal land. The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.”

Trump’s single-minded persistence on erecting this expensive and useless monument is more proof that his mental capacities are failing. And his online rant only makes that more obvious. It would be hilarious of this were the plot of a sitcom. But in the real world it’s pathetic, and potentially dangerous

Although there may be a hidden benefit. If we could keep Trump focused on nonsense like this, he might have less time to do so much of the damage that he has been doing to America and the world. So keep fighting those radicals at the Preservation Trust. And keep hosting award shows at the Kennedy Center. And while you’re at it, maybe spend a little time in Venezuela where you declared yourself acting president. Perhaps they could use a ballroom.
