BREAKING: Turmp’s Press Secretary makes a SHOCKING ADMISSION about his “main priority”!
Donald Trump has done a lot of outrageous things in office — but tearing down the East Wing of the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a $300 million ballroom might be his most obscene yet.
While millions of federal workers go unpaid and veterans line up at food banks, Trump’s top priority isn’t reopening the government — it’s adding a golden monument to himself right next to the Oval Office.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt let the mask slip this week when she admitted that “the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.” Not feeding families. Not paying soldiers. Not protecting democracy. A ballroom.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, she also revealed that Trump is interpreting long-held federal planning laws to mean he can “tear down whatever he wants” on the White House grounds — without oversight. When pressed by reporters if that meant Trump could bulldoze national landmarks like the Jefferson Memorial, Leavitt didn’t deny it. She just smirked and said it’s up to him.
Welcome to the Trump era — where the self-proclaimed “builder” treats the People’s House like one of his tacky golf resorts.
Meanwhile, a majority of Americans are furious. A new YouGov poll found that 53% of Americans disapprove of Trump demolishing the East Wing for his pet project, and a full 77% of Democrats say the plans are an outrage. Even among Republicans, cracks are showing — nearly a third disapprove of the destruction. Independents? They’re siding with Democrats. The message is loud and clear: the American people don’t want Trump’s White House makeover.
But Trump, ever the wannabe king, doesn’t care. From his gilded Mar-a-Lago throne, he boasted that the East Wing “wasn’t much,” sneering that “it was never thought of as being much” — as if one of the most iconic parts of the White House was just some cheap casino annex waiting for his “brand upgrade.”
The important thing to do now is to follow the money. Trump claims the project is being paid for “100 percent by me and some friends of mine.” Right. Because nothing says “trustworthy” like a secret donor list tied to a construction project overseen by a man whose businesses have gone bankrupt six times.
