Washington, D.C. — Democrats are in full meltdown mode once again after President Donald Trump approved a bold plan to modernize the White House by adding a luxurious new ballroom — at no cost to American taxpayers.
Donald Trump Jr. fired back at critics during an interview on Fox & Friends, accusing the Left of “completely losing the plot.”
“They’ve stopped making sense. My father is improving the People’s House, not destroying it,” Trump Jr. said.
Photos showing demolition work on a section of the East Wing — originally built under Franklin D. Roosevelt — sent liberal media outlets into a frenzy. But the Trump administration quickly reminded Americans that presidents have always made upgrades to the property.
“Radical liberals and their media partners are in full panic over President Donald J. Trump’s plan to add a magnificent, privately funded ballroom to the White House,” the statement read. “This project is a bold and essential enhancement that will bring lasting beauty and purpose for generations to come.”
White House historians also noted that President Theodore Roosevelt added the West Wing, President Barack Obama built a basketball court, and President Bill Clinton oversaw a major restoration.
Trump Jr. said his father’s decades of experience in luxury construction make him uniquely qualified to oversee improvements to the historic residence.
“The great irony is that my father — a world-renowned builder — is improving the White House at no taxpayer expense. He’s doing it the right way, with private funding and impeccable design,” Trump Jr. said.
He added that while the White House is “a beautiful building,” it has limited space for large state events. The new ballroom, he explained, will allow for diplomatic gatherings, ceremonies, and official dinners worthy of America’s prestige.
But Democrats — led by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — are fuming. Clinton posted on X, “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”
Trump Jr. wasted no time firing back.
“The irony is unbelievable. Hillary Clinton, who had to return furniture and silverware she and Bill took from the White House, is now pretending to care about history,” he said. “This renovation will benefit every future president, Republican or Democrat.”
The Clintons famously faced backlash in 2001 for taking tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and furnishings when they left office — items they later returned after public outrage.
Despite the political drama, the Trump family insists the ballroom project is a gift to the American people, adding lasting value to the White House and costing taxpayers nothing.
“This is about making America’s most important home even greater,” Trump Jr. said. “It’s a beautiful, privately funded upgrade that honors the presidency and the people it represents.”
