Democrats melt down over Trump’s private-funded White House ballroom

President Donald Trump’s plan to build a grand new White House ballroom is underway, and the media and celebrity class have melted down into unhinged hysterics, per usual.
In a segment on “The View,” former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre resurfaced to join the madness, telling the always-rational panel that “the people’s house is basically being sold to the highest bidder.”
“It is corruption at its core. And I heard someone say this when I was backstage. It could not be, there’s no greater metaphor right now than what’s happening right now in this country than watching Donald Trump take a wrecking ball to the White House,” she added.
“But why do they let him get away with it? He has all of these people who just let him get away with whatever he wants to do,” Joy Behar chimed in.
“That’s what he’s been doing for the nine, ten months, like the powers that are in the D.C. are not standing up. They’re acting as if they’re powerless ... like no, you all have power. You all have power. Do something with it,” Jean-Pierre added.
“I will note,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America,” “for a woman who constantly read every single answer she gave while she was in the White House and was the press secretary, you have to love her saying that she heard her point that she made on 'The View' from someone backstage, proving she’s never had an original thought in her entire life.”
Maria Shriver also weighed in on Trump’s renovation, writing in a post on X: “This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god.”
“Someone who just knows frugality,” Burguiere jokes.
However, the bill for the renovations is not being laid at the taxpayers feet, rather, it’s all privately donated — which is why the construction has continued despite the government shutdown.
“All the reporters that normally would be complaining about the shutdown because Republicans were responsible for it now have nothing to do because they can’t complain about the Democratic shutdown. So they’re just going to take pictures of the White House and complain about that,” Stu says.

‘The View’ praises Pope Leo’s controversial pro-life remarks
After the pope’s controversial comments on abortion — where he aimed his ire at pro-lifers and pointed out what he seemed to believe was hypocrisy surrounding their stance on the death penalty — those on the left are feeling emboldened.
Especially the women on “The View.”
“You know, I think he’s right. If you are pro-choice and pro-death penalty, you’re at least consistent,” Joy Behar said in response to Pope Leo XIV’s statement.
“As a lifelong Catholic, I am against abortion. I’m also against the death penalty. I’m also against guns. I’m also against the starvation of children. I’m a humanitarian above all because I believe that all life is precious,” Sunny Hostin replied.
“That’s why I find there is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are pro-life, but they will pull that electric chair switch. They are pro-life, but they have their AR-15s in their cabinet. They are pro-life, but they don’t mind immigrant families being torn from each other. They are pro-life, but they don’t care about little children’s subsidies being taken away from them. That is not pro-life,” she added.
“Let’s just take a quick survey,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “For or against the starvation of children?”
“I’ve got to be for that, okay. Because we’re evil Republicans,” he says.
“I just can’t take this line of reasoning that has no reason involved with it,” Gray continues, noting that the death penalty and abortion aren’t even close to the same.
“It boggles my mind how you can draw that equivalency,” he adds.
