Trump Is Remodeling the White House, and Guess How Leftists Are Reacting

President Donald Trump is building a new ballroom at the White House, and top leftists and demonstrating yet again that they’re completely out of ideas as to what to do about this man. They couldn’t defeat him at the ballot box, except when they cheated. They couldn’t destroy him with fake legal cases; instead, all they did was reveal to the watching world how deeply corrupt and desperately dishonest they really are. In comparison to those two efforts, however, claiming that he is a dictator in the making and is wantonly destroying “the people’s house” looks weak and petulant by comparison. And that’s only because that’s exactly what it is.
Leading the way in the attacks on Trump’s new White House ballroom is none other than Hillary Clinton, and when it comes to Hillary, you never know: is she testing the waters for a 2028 presidential run? After all, she’ll only be 81, relatively young by presidential standards these days, when election day 2028 rolls around, and clearly she still has the old fire. On Tuesday, Hillary posted on X a story about Trump’s renovations, and commented: “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”
Unusually for Hillary, she actually included a true statement: the White House does indeed not belong to Donald Trump. Despite his “Trump 2028” trolling of the all-too-easily-trolled Democrats, he’ll be moving out no later than Jan. 20, 2029. But the rest of what she wrote is piffle of a particularly self-righteous and annoying variety.
In the first place, the White House is not your house, or mine, or ours. The White House is the official residence of the president of the United States. If you’re not the president of the United States, then it isn’t your house. It’s that simple. Saying it’s our house is the same kind of emotional manipulation that Democrats engage in when they claim that Trump is threatening “our democracy.”
We don’t have a democracy. We have a republic. Trump is duly executing its laws in a manner that his opponents dislike. That is not in any way a threat to the republic. You want a real threat to the republic? How about framing the leader of the leader of the opposition for crimes he didn’t commit, so as to ensure he cannot return to office? Now that’s a threat to what Hillary would call “our democracy.”
And in this case, Hillary had not a word of protest when Barack Obama installed solar panels on the White House roof in 2013. She said nothing about how Obama was destroying our house. And she doesn’t really hate Trump’s ballroom at all. If her husband or Obama or Biden had built it, she would love it. She hates the builder.
There is more. Read the rest here. |
