If you do a simple Google search (and stop watching MSDNC & CNN 24/7 lol), you’ll see that several Presidents over the years, from both parties, have done renovations to the White House (on the taxpayers dime btw).
If you searched a bit harder, you would see that every president does some renovating. But what Trump is doing is not exactly the same as changing the curtains. Trump is demolishing an historic building. Destroying is not renovating.
Harry Turman did perhaps the most significant renovation of modern times. He gutted the White House. But he did so because it was falling down. And he preserved its historic exterior. (Ok, he did add what later came to be called the "Truman Balcony.") He did so with congressional authority and created a commission to oversee the process. Trump said in effect "Fuck it. Since I was elected, I'm going to do what I want to do. This is my house, not the people's house."
The fact that billionaire donors are funding Trump's ballroom whim makes it even worse. Do you really think that the only favor they will expect from Trump is an invitation to dance in his ballroom?
