‘That White House is a real dump’: Trump openly trashes WH while visiting his golf course

As a student of history, this just sickens me to the core.
Well, as a student of history you are then aware that Bess Truman and Harry Truman spent a lot of time and money refurbishing the WH because the place was a shambles, according to them. So this isn't unprecedented. However, the problem in 1947 was structural and I think President Trump is just doing his "can't control my id" routine on this. I don't support him trashing the WH at all, just saying it's sort of happened before.


Yeah, but when Truman fixed the White House... it WAS in shambles. The floors were falling in.
True. As I said, it was structural then. Now it is like a constantly refurbished B-52. Indeed, during Dubya's administration some of my former colleagues were involved in a massive refurbishing of the media room. Spent a lot of money on that I can tell you.
 
IMAGINE -- for a minute. Just imagine if the previous president had uttered such a thing. The right wing would have lost their shit as if the world were ending. Imagine their original criminal hero Reagan saying "the White House is a dump".

Cons you have crossed over into hypocrisy of such a scale that it has never been explored before.


And how do you know he didn't say that.....since the press covered up just about everything he did that made him look bad....

And yet.....when obama compared the White House to a prison.....where was the outrage....? Since he was a Black President, and compared the White House to a prison?

Barack Obama reveals the worst thing about being the most powerful man in the world

The former president isn’t the only Obama to have described the White House as a prison. Michelle Obama hit the headlines for saying that living in the White House has prison-like qualities

IT IS LIKE A PRISON. You can't just go wherever you want when you want to, and you are constantly followed around for your protection. When Michelle Obama did carpool karaoke she asked to mess with the radio because she said she had only been allowed to ride in the front seat of a car once in 8 years and that was teaching her daughter to drive on the White House grounds.
 
Not nearly enough gold in the WH to satisfy Trumpy.

I'm surprised He flies around in that Air Force One piece of crap.

Before you get yourself all outraged over this, read some history. This is a common complaint of presidents.
 
He is talking about the people ,not the White House itself .
Once again press guessed at what he meant and gets it wrong. :lmao:

I'm not the one with fingers in ears.
Try watching c-span. :)
I do. Did the President say on C-SPAN that he didn't mean the WH was a dump, just the people? Which people, I wonder? His cabinet? His staff?

No
I said that because you always accuse me of only being a fox news watcher. Which is not true at all.
Which by the way has just as much false info as CNN & MSNBC
Read the article.
It puts it into perspective.
Why do you want to know which people?
The corruption is in both parties.
D.C. is full of corruption.
That's why the people voted for him, he has no ties to the corrupted lobbyists.
 
Well, he's insulted pretty much every person he can think of, may as well start in on inanimate objects.

I didn't say it wasn't....and I didn't comment on it at the time......it is the left wing going after Trump and his comments in this post.....while ignoring obama and his wife....

Peach, I don't know your stances well enough to know what TV stations you watch. I don't remember criticizing you for watching FOX before; I used to watch FOX sometimes, when I got that channel, but the meme wasn't as much about Fox, to me, as the rest of it. This isn't about Fox.

I did read the article. It didn't put anything in perspective, and he wasn't talking about the corruption in D.C. He was talking about the WH and its facilities, which apparently doesn't include a good enough golf course and restaurant, I'm guessing. There was NO explanation for that comment in the article.
 
‘That White House is a real dump’: Trump openly trashes official residence while visiting his golf course

"Donald Trump explains away his frequent visits to his own golf courses by belittling the residence of every U.S. president since 1800, telling attendees at his Bedminster Golf Club that the “White House is a real dump.”
Golf.com reports that during a recent visit to his New Jersey golf club (which Trump has visited four times since his inauguration), the president told fellow members the reason why he frequents his own properties.
“That White House is a real dump,” he said."

Wow. Such respect for the sublime history of that important American Institution.
<smh>

Imagine for one earthly second if Obama had ever said anything like that.

Just sickening the way this man trashes nearly every one and everything he comes in contact with.


Once again, liberals prove that despite our best efforts, many reach adulthood without the ability to read the language. From your link:

"As for the president’s golfing abilities, while some reports indicated Trump has an uncanny ability to make a hole in one, the people who’ve played with him over the years told golf.com the president “doesn’t play a round of golf so much as narrate it, his commentary peppered with hyperbole”"
So..that's the current excuse.

It is government housing....and it was built, again, in 1817.......of course it is a dump...just because it has a lot of history doesn't mean it isn't a dump......
And yet another excuse.

It's been remodeled several times including when it was basically gutted in 1948-1952.

Truman Reconstruction - White House Museum
Oh well.....Democrat....:doubt:
 
He can fix and update it. Not sure what the problem is. If it really is a dump, he's probably just saying what other President's thought as well. I think it's funny. It's only a building. Sheesh
 
I wouldn't live in a house built in the 1970's let alone 1792. A new modern White House is long overdue, haul that old building off to a historic park and build a new White House on the sight.
 
He is talking about the people not the WH.

“This is my real group,” he reportedly told a group of members, while inviting them to stop by his interviews the following day. “You are the special people. I see all of you. I recognize, like, 100% of you, just about.”


This isn't the first time he admitted the wealthy are his "real group" but if you're correct,nth at he was talking about people, how do the staff feel about that? Or his own hires?

Melania doesn't deign to love there either. Her staying in NYC soaks the taxpayer.

Trump golfs a third of the time and makes money illegally when he stays at his golf resorts.

peach174 Trump fans like you can make all the excuses you want but you can't hide what Trump is. You can't hide that he spits on us every single day.
