NewsBusters Podcast: The Ludicrous Anti-Trump Ballroom Horror Movie

October 28th, 2025 9:50 AM

The networks and newspapers hyperventilating over President Trump as a "one-man wrecking ball" who okayed demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a new ballroom is the silliest Trump scandal imaginable. He's a "mob boss" who may "never leave" office, and his architectural plans betray "a darker history in fascist and totalitarian politics."  

Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro explain our latest work on this ludicrous horror movie the media elites are inventing.

Nick noted the liberal ladies of The View continued to lie about taxpayers footing the bill for the new White House ballroom. According to them, Trump was playing some sort of shell game with his presidential salary and legal fees to cover the construction that made him equal to a “mob boss.” They also suggested Republicans were going to steal the midterms and the ballroom was proof Trump wasn’t going to leave office. It now sounds like "View-Anon" conspiracies.

Curtis pointed out Washington Post art critic Philip Kennicott went source-shopping until he found an Ivy League art history professor who would throw the "fascist and totalitarian" card at the ballroom construction.

Plus: As White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre’s answers to friendly reporters often left political observers wondering: “Is this the best Biden can do?”

Now, after serving during Biden’s most obvious mental decline, KJP is attempting to sell a completely contradictory message: (a) I’m an independent now scolding “blind loyalty” to a two-party system, and (b) I’m blindly loyal to Biden, unlike too many Democrats who somehow believed he wasn’t up to the job anymore. You have to wonder which genius told her to strike this ridiculous pose. Or maybe no one advised her at all. That would make sense.
