Not even close to being comparable.
First, the renovations under Truman's administration were structurally necessary. A report by the Commissioner of Public Buildings stated the 2nd floor of the mansion was in danger of "imminent collapse". See:
Second, Congress was consulted and Congressional approval was obtained. Trump just acted by fiat, like it was his house, not the people's house that is loaned out to him. Further, Trump himself knows he's acting out of bounds even by his standards, which is why he lied about leaving the East Wing alone, and then just went ahead and tore it down. That's night-and-day different not only from how Truman operated, but from how any responsible POTUS woud operate.
Third, under Truman, there was a detailed cataloging of everything within the parts that had to be torn down, and as much as possible of historical significance was preserved. There's no indication Trump did any of that for the East Wing. I recall a commenter on another forum saying 'Imagine how nice it would have been to distribute pieces of historical significance to state capitols so they could display a piece of White House history.'
Fourth, there's huge difference in scale vs. what Truman did. You're complaining about a single balcony, while Trump's ballroom has nearly twice the footprint of the main section of the WH.
It's always the left's fault right? not seen the mistreatment being mexicans in america its all over the internet, i for one cannot wait for people to start Doxing ice agents.... if police offers have to show face so should ICE, its just a matter of time before we start reading "ICE OFFICERS Ambushed"
^^ Advocating more left wing violence? Not a good look in a public forum. Leftist politics has always been violent in nature so this is not a surprise. Disappointing, but not surprising.
What do you think "ambush" means? A surprise party?
I just had a post deleted and was threatened with a ban for humorously mocking one of the leftists here. Meanwhile, leftist posts calling for terrorism and murder remain up and are considered just fine. That tells you everything about this website and the people who run it.
First of all
Also, removing 9/11 from the stats only shows that they are cherry picking data.
First off, all these are leftwing sources. Second, how is terrorism even defined in these articles? Does this include school shootings? These charts are meaningless without context.

the same thing they are doing to americans, ambushing them and taken away kids and husbands then to find out they're americans lol
i for one cannot wait for the mask banning in california in Jan Ice will no longer be able to hide face, but im also sure those are the same tool bags who cried during covid bout having to wear a mask
When a right-winger discovers facts
I do. I've been a bowler since I was 3, and if you knew your history, you would have known the significant importance of bowling, especially in the 1960s to today. It was and still is bigger than most sports on the planet, especially in regards to being a participation sport instead of a spectator sport. But alas, most people in the US are more accustomed to playing sports on the couch or gaming chair with chicken wings, pizza, chili, hot dogs, and pork rinds stuck in their mouths while having their nose canula in for the extra oxygen while a cigarette is on the table next to them either playing or watching gridiron football, screaming at the screen about how they could stiff arm the oncoming tackler and run the field faster than Usain Bolt.
BL.
what makes this Potemkin Versailles worth $350m? are those candelabras made of solid gold? or is $300m just for kickbacks.
It’s the 24/7 McDonald’s built into the bunker underneath.

The reply was suppose to be for Kagharat.
I’m inclined to trust the CATO institute so I have no concerns with the total. Having dug a little deeper I believe I found the original article and a large percentage of the deaths come from the Oklahoma bombing (168) and Pulse Nightclub Shooting (49). From how it’s written a large number of the remaining attacks seem to come from abortion centre bombings.
The problem with these sorts of graphs is that a single event can blow out the results (eg. 9/11). Given that the objective of a terrorist attack is to carry out mass murder it’s probably more accurate to measure the number of incidents rather than deaths.
The article also makes no mention of mass shootings, which seem to have become more political in recent years but motivations do vary.
I should also note that the CATO institute does conclude that politically motivated terrorism is still rare.
