BOOB BAIT FOR THE BOBOS: MSNBC’S Morning Joe: ‘Everybody’ Outside DC Finds Trump’s Ballroom Plans ‘Infuriating.’
Morning Joe‘s whine-a-thon over President Trump’s ballroom project has entered its second day.
Yesterday, we caught Jon Meacham emoting that Trump’s decision to proceed with the project “is in some ways a definition of why we had the American Revolution.” Don’t fire until you see the whites of their tablecloths, Jon!
In the same episode, Meacham disingenuously suggested that before starting, Trump should have brought in the White House Historical Association and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. But as Mika had already revealed earlier in the show, the National Trust has already gone on record opposing the project!
If Trump had submitted to the groups’ tender mercies, and their endless demands for redesigns, site reviews, hearings, solicitation of public commentary, etc., what are the odds the ballroom would have been completed before the end of Trump’s term — if ever?
Today, Katty Kay called the project “a let-them-eat-cake moment” given that it was happening during a government shutdown in which some food welfare benefits are on hold.
Meanwhile, let’s see what the Washington Post has to say about the remodeling:

Gosh, what terrible demons could have sponsored Drumpf’s fascistic vandalism? Oh wait, the company that owns MSNBC, and the company whose CEO owns the WaPo: Guess Who Donated to the White House Ballroom Project? The Left Is Gonna Flip!

UPDATE:
The people who rampaged through the country tearing down every priceless work of art and historical monument they could find are now pretending to be traumatized because Trump is renovating part of the White House https://t.co/5CPvmutBJT

President Harding, hardest hit!
You guys are fine removing and defacing statues, but remove a Warren G. Harding (you should read up on him) tree, and you all get the vapors. https://t.co/Fg4Kzbd3Ws
