Trump is merely a squatter. At best, he has a four year lease. I would sue him for all the damage to the Oval Office!

Not just the ballroom...his arch, his AF1, his library, his Kennedy Center, his stupid face plastered on buildings throughout DC, his signature on the dollar. It's endless his quest for monuments to himself.

What an embarrassment to the history of the United States. 77 million voters thought this man was fit for a second term. Boggling.

Just insane that so many people thought he was normal and voted for him. We have lots of sickness in our country.

I am 62 years old and have never heard of any president, politician, or officials say we needed a ballroom until this idiot came along. No one has wanted it for 150 yrs.
