President Donald Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House this week to commence a much-needed renovation of the 123-year-old structure that has existed in its current form since the FDR administration. He plans to build a fabulous ballroom in its place.
Doing what comes naturally, journalists and other Democratic activists are losing their minds, reacting as though Trump had personally fired the U.S. Constitution out of a T-shirt cannon into the Potomac River or firebombed the Lincoln Memorial to make way for a Hitler-themed Hooters franchise and crypto-casino.
The weepy tone of the media coverage suggests our nation's journalists are even more mentally deranged and out of touch with normal Americans than even their harshest critics were prepared to imagine. Meanwhile, the intensity of the Democratic Party's response—a familiar cocktail of frothing hysteria and mawkish grandstanding—has stunned even the most jaded chroniclers of Trump-induced outrage. Many have wondered: "What the f— is wrong with you people? Do you need a hug? No one actually cares, so it's probably a good idea to calm down, OK?"
Here's a particularly insane example: Tara Setmayer, a former Lincoln Project senior adviser, wrote that watching Trump renovate the White House made her feel "almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon damage on 9/11." Though most probably wouldn't compare it to 9/11 in a public forum, Setmayer was expressing a sentiment widely shared by her fellow Trump-obsessed liberal activists. In their humble (and definitely not crazy) opinion, this was one of the worst attacks on the American homeland in our country's history.
