Americans have had a lot to say ever since President Donald Trump knocked down the White House's historic East Wing to make way for his ballroom. It turns out that the people have spoken — and they're pretty unhappy with the president's plans.

The Swamp, the Daily Beast's Substack, reviewed 32,000 public comments submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission ahead of the design meeting slated for tomorrow at the commission’s D.C. headquarters. The more than 9,000 pages reveal a common theme, with an overwhelming number of people urging the planning commission to stop the ballroom construction. They instead call for rebuilding the East Wing.

"But the president’s home is also the People’s House—and the people don’t like Trump’s plan to turn it into Dance-a-Lago," The Swamp reported.

1. I bet those reviews hurt him deeply.

That's supposed to be his gift to the world.
