This effort by President Trump to build something that every American will be proud of and that every leader around the world will be jealous of is creating so much unnecessary chatter. Today I read the lackluster architect who wanted a smaller ballroom has been fired and a replacement retained. That's wonderful news.

But then new uninformed chatter began about Trump building a $300 million ballroom when people across the country are struggling to pay for groceries. Anyone talking like that does not understand the psychology of the ballroom. People are discouraged with the economy Biden left us. President Trump is building a great ballroom to raise the spirits of these very people. When people see Trump making a big first entrance into the ballroom wearing a tux with the stunning Melania on his arm people coast to coast will forget their troubles and cheer with happiness. The ballroom is exactly when this country needs at this moment.

More to the point, Mr. Mayor, what can they do about it? Nothing. The ballroom is happening. End of story. Whiners can get to the back of the government handout line.
