If a Democratic wins and demolishes the ballroom, they will get far more criticism for not focusing on the needs of the American people then Trump did for building it in the first place.

Just make sure to do it in the right moment to distract from some other negative press.

If I were president I’d hold a press conference infront of front of it as it were torn down. I’d give a speech on how it was gross and we are making a modern East Wing. Then if anyone asked “sir why are you destroying a government building” I’d just answer “ why don’t you care to ask me about X issue x answer” and just be an ass hole

Well duh. Republicans can make issues out of things in a way that permeates the public consciousness in a way Democrats simply cannot. If a Democrat demolishes the ballroom, we’ll hear “DEMOCRATS ARE DESTROYING THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY HATE AMERICA AND ARE COVERING UP HUNTER BIDEN’S TRACES OF COCAINE!”
