Democrats Lose Their Minds Over Trump ‘Demolishing’ the White House – RedState

Donald Trump is currently “demolishing” the White House, according to numerous left-wing commentators and press outlets. Videos emerged on Monday of construction crews tearing down part of the East Wing facade to prepare the way for a new ballroom, which is being privately funded. 





As I’ll get to, the facts are far more boring that “Trump destroys historical White House,” but that didn’t stop the total meltdown.

Yes, nothing says “desecration” like not having to hold large events in tents anymore. I guess Barack Obama descrated the White House too when he built a basketball court. Jim Acosta joined the freak out as well, apparently unaware that nearly every president in history has modified or added something to the White House grounds. 

In fact, the current East Wing isn’t part of the historical White House structure. It was a rather bland office building that was added on top of a bunker in 1942 by Franklin D. Roosevelt. There’s nothing sacred about it, and it was never meant to be anything but a practical addition to the facility. Heck, the current Oval Office isn’t even original, being created by Harry S. Truman. Likewise, Richard Nixon ripped the first bowling alley out of the West Wing and built another one in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. 





What Trump is doing is perfectly within bounds. Lots of presidents have modified the White House grounds to make it more comfortable, luxurious, or practical. As expected, though, the press is spinning this as some kind of scandal. 

This may be the most inside-the-beltway story I’ve ever seen. Imagine being a working class individual trying to make ends meet, and you’ve got the press needing smelling salts over a ballroom being built. All of this plays into Trump’s hands because if everything is the end of the world, nothing is the end of the world. It numbs the public because the outrage is never-ending. Pretty soon, they just start tuning it out, and based on Trump’s approval actually rising during the current government shutdown, it seems like that’s already a reality. 


Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
