Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing. Taft made the Executive Office oval. FDR added the entire East Wing and included an indoor pool for himself. Truman gutted the entire White House. Nixon added a bowling alley. Obama added a basketball court. Trump is building a ballroom.
@Geiger_Capital @grok which of these were approved by Congress and which are at the whim of the President?
@Geiger_Capital Obama didn't "add a basketball court". They just repainted an existing tennis court and threw in 2 removable baskets.
@Geiger_Capital Wut da???
@Geiger_Capital They did it the legal way ... that takes time .... Trump skipped all those steps and I believe illegally funded it
@Geiger_Capital Reasons Why President's Built 1. Roosevelt wanted control, so he built the west wing. In 1902, he spent $65,000 of the taxpayers' money. That's $2,506,957 today 2. Taft chased eternal fame and built the EEOB in 1909. He probably just needed a bigger bathtub, but he spent
@Geiger_Capital Trump , is also the only one paying for the renovation out of his own pocket.
@Geiger_Capital Yet none of them paid for it themselves. Trump is building it with his own money!
@Geiger_Capital Relax people, he’s only doing it cause he needs more room for his ballz…
@Geiger_Capital The Trump ballroom is paid out of pocket. The other projects, were they taxpayer funded or privately paid for?
@Geiger_Capital Looks like an organized pile-on against the Ballroom. But According to AI: “…that new White House ballroom Trump's pushing? It's all private cash-no taxpayer dollars.”
@Geiger_Capital Am I gonna go to a ball?
@Geiger_Capital The people complaining about losing history with the White House remodel are the same ones who cheered the destruction of historical statues and promoted the revisionist history of the 1619 project.
@Geiger_Capital Truman added the Truman Balcony...FOREVER changing the look of the White House! Should it be removed?? Libtards have gone 100% off the DEEPEND!!
@Geiger_Capital Thank you for the history lesson! Don’t forget Johnson’s bathroom!
@Geiger_Capital Trump bad. And in the long run, this is gonna save taxpayers money because instead of having to rent out a ballroom and move Security to a whole different location they can just have it all in one spot.
@Geiger_Capital And Biden hid in the bathroom
@Geiger_Capital Harry Truman ordered the interior of the White House to be gutted and rebuilt from 1948 to 1952 because decades of poor construction and piecemeal renovations had left the building on the verge of collapse. Engineers declared the structure unsafe for occupancy after a series of
@Geiger_Capital Which would u say is the most “kingly”? I’d say the ballroom fs.
@Geiger_Capital Great post for establishing proper historical context. Ahem: @mariashriver and others having a hissy fit over White House renovation. cc: @MELANIATRUMP @realDonaldTrump @SusieWiles
@Geiger_Capital President Trump and a couple friends are paying for it, not using our tax payer money.
@Geiger_Capital Didn’t that happen when he lived in Blair house?
@Geiger_Capital Every president leaves a mark, some just more literal.
@Geiger_Capital Did Obama use tax payer funds during the Great Recession for his basketball court renovation? Of course he did. While Americans were losing their everything, he got himself a bouncy ball court on our dime.
@Geiger_Capital Nice job Geiger! The kicker, no one penny of taxpayers money! ❤️✝️
@Geiger_Capital Movie theater
@Geiger_Capital Every King needs a ballroom
@Geiger_Capital I agree. The big tents are weird. Nearly every addition to the place was disliked initially. Truman Balcony for example. If they really don’t like it, that’s for future Presidents. Even if you don’t like the guy…construction is one area he clearly knows something about.
@Geiger_Capital you know its going to be magnificent
@Geiger_Capital Leave it better than you found it.
@Geiger_Capital You forgot Clinton's cigar humidor under the Resolute Desk.
@Geiger_Capital Is he not tearing down the east wing to do this? Literally trashing the socialist addition
@Geiger_Capital @PrestorJohn Trump is such a monster!!!
@Geiger_Capital Trump the chump destroys the East Wing bc... Some_fucking-reason. Let me guess, it'll be named after the "donor" who had to have it. Not ok.
@Geiger_Capital none of them acted unilaterally.
@Geiger_Capital I did not know FDR built the east wing. Makes it much sweeter to see a bulldozer taken to it. 💕 ✌️
@Geiger_Capital LBJ added lower shower nozzles so his dick could be washed
