Trump’s bulldozing the East Wing to build a private ballroom funded by his billionaire donors.
John,
Americans are struggling right now — a lot.
SNAP benefits are set to end in at least 25 states, putting millions of families at risk of going hungry. Millions of Americans could see their health care premiums double next year. The government is shut down, critical services for veterans and small businesses are paused, and thousands of federal workers aren’t being paid.
Yet this is how Donald Trump is spending his time:
Donald Trump is bulldozing the East Wing of the White House to build a $300 million, 90,000 square foot gilded ballroom — and hosting dinners to thank the billionaires funding his palace.
No modern president has ever refashioned the White House so extensively for personal glory. He’s taking a wrecking ball to the People’s House to turn it into a monument of his wealth and influence — just like he's trying to reshape the country in his image.
This is about so much more than a ballroom. It’s about a presidency built around authoritarianism and personal gain — and it’s also corruption in plain sight. Billionaires are cozying up to Trump so they can maximize their profits, using donations to build his palace while working people struggle.
If we don’t push back now, we send a message that this is acceptable, John. And from there, things will only get worse.
We can't let the White House become a gilded palace for billionaires while everyday Americans are fighting to survive. We need to mobilize and show the wannabe dictator and his wannabe aristocrat allies that they do not get to define our country or control our futures.
John, please add your name to tell Trump: The White House isn’t your palace — it’s the People’s House.

Thank you for taking a stand. Together, we’ll make sure billionaires can’t get away with turning America into their playground.
