But here’s the thing. He was elected by the people. Popular vote doesn’t matter. See Bill Clinton. That’s not how we elect a president. You don’t like that result, fine, but he was elected by the people and approval ratings don’t amount to a hill of beans. If it did, Congress would be an empty building.
Sure, but being elected president shouldn't mean doing whatever you want. Congress should have some say before you demolish the East Wing of the White House and replace it with a palace ballroom that dwarfs the entire house. Just like they did in previous major renovations. He also lied to The People about the scope of the project right up until he began demolition.
Did he get 50% in any of the elections he's run?
At this point it's whatever. Let them live in a delusional echo chamber until a Democrat wins and prosecutes the hell out of these criminals, dismantles the police state they've set up, and bulldozes stupid things like a $300 million ballroom.
Again, you're not getting how this works. Ask Bill Clinton how he did when he was elected.
I get you’re upset. There’s nothing he can do that will make you happy other than retire. Just because you don’t like what’s being done, doesn’t mean only your position matters. This project has been talked about for decades. He’s finally getting it done. Bravo to him for doing it with donations.
What are you even trying to say here? Clinton won both the popular vote and the electoral college both in 1992 and 1996.
"It" what? Filling his pockets. Nothing else. We're talking about the guy who managed to run CASINOS into the ground! Where the business model is "people visit, bring money, and leave with less money because now you have it".
Nor did he receive 50%. Read what I was responding to. Popular vote is irrelevant anyway.
Atlantic City and Reservation Gaming ran casinos into the ground.
Laughable. The causes of the Atlantic City collapse are well known. Trying to post some hit piece under the guise of a congressional website is about as disingenuous as you can get.
I completely disagree. It's extremely political. Its primary purpose is and will continue to be to allow rich people to curry favor with the president regardless of party. The fact that the president lied about the impact on the east wing and the projected cost until demolition began is political. The fact that the expenditure nor the project were not approved by Congress is political. Overshadowing the people's house with a palace ballroom is political.
Bill Clinton didn't get the majority to vote for him.
this is 100% wrong, my friend from Japan just had her visa extend three months ago
If the ballroom is an improvement over the current East Wing, I don't see the point in replacing it again out of spite. The Rose Garden, OTOH, tear that 💩 out and bring back Jackie's roses. Gawd, I'm still salty they paved over the beautiful greenery.🤬🤬🤬
