I was already on the fence. The latest software releases, their support quality, them ignoring everything I submitted in feedback for this year's beta testing, all marks against them. The shiny statue they gave trump seemed like they were just working him, distracting him in the cheapest, least-consequential way possible, but the ballroom I can't excuse.
Everyone who kisses up to trump is going to get run over by him just like anyone else. He has a reputation for screwing over everyone who has ever done business with him. At best, kissing up is a stall. But doing so makes him more powerful against others in the meantime. This is incredibly irresponsible and I'm just not paying for it anymore.
I like macOS. I like my M1 pro macbook pro. But I don't actually need apple hardware or software and I think it's time I start migrating away. I can get by just fine on a linux or BSD-based solution.
Tim Apple also donated a million bucks to the inauguration, and Apple went along with the "Gulf of America" nonsense.
I didn't vote for Trump, but it always amazes me how people can get so upset by just the mention of his name. It would be truly sad to live this way. You shouldn't let anyone affect you this much. I don't care who they are. It's not good for you.
The Trump phone will just be the iPhone 18 Pro. Apple won't release a Pro in reverence to their dear leader.
the east wing wasnt torn down. just the facaude, which is fancy name for car port, was torn down.
i dont remember all of you being upset when oboma built a friggin basketball court. your selective outrage is tiring.

If it helps, no one is upset just by the mention of his name.
Personal tax has nothing to do with this. So by your argument no one owning a business should pay tax because prices will go up. What the right doesn’t realize is they are brainwashed and gullible. Might want to do some basic economics research there mate.
Hey Apple, be prepared to donate to dismantling that crap and restoring the original state.
Yes, this happens often. I've seen it countless times in person. It's hilarious.
Dude. They knocked the whole thing down. It was meant to be the facade and he demolished it all. Even NewsMax reported that!
yall keep spelling biden wrong! This is the first thing democrats think becuase it's excatly what the democrats would do. Its called projection and weve seen it every day for the last 4 years.
Maybe this explains why we got an orange iPhone this year
On a serious note, what did the East Wing house in terms of rooms and whatnot? I feel like we don't know a lot about it.
East Wing
Structure part of the White House Complex, east of the Executive Residence
The East Wing of the White House complex was built in 1902, significantly expanded in 1942, and demolished in 2025 ahead of a rebuild containing the White House State Ballroom. Situated on the east side of the Executive Residence, the building served as office space for the first lady and her staff, including the White House social secretary, correspondence staff, and the White House Graphics and Calligraphy Office, all of which are relocated until the new East Wing is completed. The East Wing was connected to the White House through the East Colonnade, a corridor that housed the White House Family Theater and connected to the ground floor of the Executive Residence.

well good. no one complaind any other time a president did renovations. there is a command center under there that was built during world war II. This is probably a cover to revamp it.
The Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC, PEE-ock)
Well, I haven't, and it hasn't happened here. The issue people have is with their actions, not the mere mention of their name.
Good for you. I'd rather not see people completely lose their cool just by hearing his name, but it happens a lot.
Just envy. You know...he sees Putin walking along those immense kitsch halls inside Kremlin walls and decided to build his own exhibition gallery...
I don't understand why people who have no balls need such a huge ballroom 🤔
Anyway, you reap what you sow, America !

Actually fairly large bits of it were blown up by fascists and rebuilt under democracy...
Ship of Theseus and all that...
I was referring to the other bits. Let's reflect on those bits for a while, shall we?
