In a picturesque town on the U.S.-Canada border, workers under dark clouds were building a new entrance for Canadians into a library to replace one that had long symbolized bilateral closeness.
Ok…so, are you seriously suggesting that what the Obamas did, was comparable to tearing down the entire East Wing of the White House?
Obama had the tennis court lines repainted and had a freestanding basketball hoop brought in, and Michelle put in planter boxes, walkways and seating. All of it was basically just cosmetic changes to the grounds outside, with none of it having any impact on the White House structure itself. That’s not “renovating the White House”…it’s just rearranging the lawn furniture.
Lol! Again…are you seriously comparing those kinds of upgrades with Trump literally demolishing the entire fucking East Wing, just so that he can build a ballroom that no one needs? You’re comparing security upgrades and single room remodelling projects, to the complete destruction of a third of the White House.
On some level, there has to be some part of your brain that is capable of recognizing the difference. I can’t accept that you lack even that basic capacity for critical thought.
At the very least, are you aware of the difference in procedure that was followed on every one of those previous projects, compared with Trump not following any approval process, at all? There were no official consultations with heritage groups, historical planners or anyone in the government whose job it is to protect National sites from being unduly modified or damaged. There is a legal approval process that needs to be followed…and Trump just skipped all of that, and called in a wrecking crew.
Every single one of the upgrades and renovations that you mentioned, followed those procedures, and they all had expert approval, as well as Congressional support.
Oh, well that makes total sense, then…because of course it was impossible for Trump to hold off on these renovations until he could do them LEGALLY…right? And of course there’s absolutely nothing that Republicans can do to reinstate the healthcare subsidies they cancelled in the summer, and get the government reopened…right?
I mean, how could anyone expect Trump to follow the law, when there are all these things that he has total control over, stopping him from doing things legally?
You have no idea how stupid all these excuses make you sound.

Convenient that you completely ignored everything I said, past the 1st sentence.
