‘I don’t think it looks destroyed’: MAGA host spins Trump’s White House demolition

Real America’s Voice host Emily Finn said she did not believe the White House “looks destroyed” after President Donald Trump demolished the building’s East Wing to make room for his $250 million gilded ballroom project.”President Trump is having some renovations done at the White House,” the pro-MAGA host told reporter Brian Glenn on Thursday. “Many on the left claim it’s unprecedented. Earlier this week, even Hillary Clinton posted on X, saying it’s not his house, it’s your house, and he’s destroying it. That was such an infuriating post to see, Brian,” she continued. “How do you think the White House looks? I don’t think it looks destroyed, do you? Not at all,” Glenn agreed, “and historically, they have made improvements to the White House. You can see some of the dust and the dirt,” the reporter said as he stood outside the White House. “You know, this is not something that’s out of the ordinary, obviously. Traditionally, they have had renovations around the White House throughout the years,” he added. “This is what they do. Barack Obama, in terms of a basketball court, you know, a bowling alley was added to one point. So all of this is not out of the ordinary, but when President Trump does it, obviously, it is the end of the world. But he is definitely making improvements here at the White House,” Glenn concluded.
