We need to stop looking for any "utilitarian rationale or justification" for Trump's "ballroom plans."

1. Come on. You know the real reason for the ballroom

In the building he tore down, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Roslyn Carter, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden had their Office of the First Lady. One of his goals for the current reign of terror is to eliminate anything associated with Democrats. I doubt he even cares if a ballroom will be built.

Out in the civilian world, unless a building is uninhabitable or infamous they normally wait until they have plans and money for the new building before they tear down the old one. The East Wing was fine and they still don’t know what this ballroom will even look like much less what the inside will be.
