I don't care for the gold leafing in the White House. Its the people's house, and the American people are not about gold leafing the bric-a-brac.

I find the "People's House" point of argument trite an sophomoric.

Mostly a virtual signaling cry.


Such is typical of leftest stirring up shit, rather than a real and concerned position.

The "idea" that the White House is the "People's House" and that the POTUS is simply a "tenant/guest" at the pleasure of the people for a term, is a truism, the majority use of the idiom has become weak and no more than political chum.

We have much greater problems and issues than to be distracted by such lowbrow distractions.

The next tenet We the People... select to occupy, will likely fail to match carpet and the drapes to everyone's likling.

And I won't care any more for that than I do the gilded whatever.

This is the same argument Democrats make about Trump's other remodels for the WH, a place that has always been a symbol of opulence and excellence in America, no matter who occupies it. Those who have the opposite view would likely celebrate the trashcan look of the Obama Center.

This is a "people's house", too.



Just saying.
