💬 In a few words:

Oh, sweetie, you won't believe the drama! That fancy White House ballroom Mr. Trump wanted is stuck faster than my old sewing machine. He tore down the East Wing, but now it's just a big, expensive mess with no plans!

More details:

The Great Ballroom Blunder, Bless His Heart!

Oh, sweetie, you simply must hear this tale of woe from the White House! Remember back in October when Mr. Trump, bless his heart, decided to just tear down the whole East Wing? Well, I never! He claimed it was all for a grand, fancy ballroom, a place for all those big shindigs they usually have in tents. Can you imagine the scandal?

But hold onto your teacups, because two months later, that ballroom is about as built as my new set of teeth! It’s just not happening, dear. It seems our President, despite all his talk, is better at breaking things than he is at actually building them, and this whole project is turning into a right old spectacle!

Grandma's Got Some Thoughts, and They're Sarcastic!

Now, he wanted this big, shiny ballroom, supposedly to seat 650 people in 90,000 square feet, but then he started throwing fits, wanting it bigger! Honestly, it's like a toddler with a new toy. The budget has already doubled from $200 million to a whopping $400 million, and they don't even have a proper design yet!

"A perfect symbol of Trump’s second administration: They are very good at breaking things, but they don’t know how to create anything of value."

He even ran off the initial architect, can you believe the nerve? This is a man who loves to micromanage, but heavens to Betsy, he doesn’t seem to know a thing about actually getting a big project done! It's enough to make you sigh, isn't it?

The Nitty-Gritty Details (That Make Grandma's Head Spin)

Let's talk about what's actually going on, or rather, what's not going on. The judge said they had to submit plans by the end of the year, but the White House hasn't even bothered to schedule meetings with the planning commission! Such a mess! It's like trying to bake a pie without even buying the flour, if you ask me.

And his "legacy" projects? Oh, sweetie, they're just a sight. He's slapping "gold" decorations everywhere in the Oval Office, looking like something from a cheap motel, and put up a "presidential walk of fame" that's just full of insults to other presidents. It's just so tacky, and honestly, it’s not going to last past the next president's first day.

Why Grandma Just Can't Even Today!

It truly makes you wonder, doesn't it? He gives these loud speeches full of "blizzard of lies" about the economy, but things just keep getting more expensive. And for all his talk of being a "builder," it seems his only real skill is putting his name on other people's property. He’s nearly 80, and it seems he’s more focused on leaving a mark, but goodness gracious, what a mark it is!

It’s all just so much talk and so little action. Back in my day, if you said you were going to build something, you had a plan and you stuck to it! This whole affair is just another example of him trying to cover up... well, worthlessness, with loud pronouncements and cheap tricks. It’s enough to make a grandma need another cup of tea, and maybe a nap!

Grandma's waiting on your verdict

Pour dear Grandma another cup by tapping how this gossip feels. She can't finish her knitting until you whisper your take.
