"It became the center of social and ceremonial life, an essential counterpart to the political and administrative workings of the West Wing. During Trump’s first term, the East Wing stood largely dormant. With it gone, Trump commented that 'it was never thought of as being much,' revealing less about the building than about his indifference to its history."

"Smashing part of the White House without telling people threatens the fundamental idea of the republic. ...

Long after Dolley Madison left for good and the East Wing was built under Franklin D. Roosevelt, that side of the house became the seat of the first ladies."

~ Jake Lundberg

Note: FDR, despised by right-wingers ever since the New Deal …. "Seat of the first ladies" ….

"The public feels, two to one, that Donald Trump’s unassisted destruction of the East Wing of the White House in order to build a huge, gilded ballroom to be named for himself, was bad: arrogant, garish, vulgar and enabled only through an audacious lie. Most in the media courageous enough to take this on, agreed."

"Notably, 56% of Americans—including two thirds of political independents—view Trump as a “dangerous dictator.” ...

Trump’s favorability rating remains underwater. Only 40% of Americans hold a favorable view of Trump, compared to 58% who hold an unfavorable view of the president. Notably, more than twice as many Americans hold 'very unfavorable' views than hold 'very favorable' views of Trump (46% vs. 20%)."

As polls have consistently demonstrated from 2016 through today, white Christians — not just white evangelicals, though they are the chief cheerleaders, but white Christians across the board — own the Trump presidency and its manifold crudities and cruelties, its deep corruption and immorality, it's fundamental clash with everything the Christian gospel proclaims.

"Majorities of white Christian groups, including 72% of white evangelical Protestants, hold a favorable view of Trump; by contrast, Christians of color, members of other religions, and the religiously unaffiliated all hold mostly unfavorable views of Trump. ...

With the exception of Republicans and white Christians, most Americans reject Trump’s secretive ICE tactics and harsh immigration policies."

"Trump’s attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel only ensured that more Americans heard the jokes, more people saw through his insecurities, and more recognized that the emperor has no clothes. Kimmel’s Tuesday night viewership exceeded six milion, around three times what he received before this fiasco."
