“Live long enough and everything will happen, at some point. Even bizarre, incomprehensible things, such as Saturday’s Washington Post editorial, ‘In defense of the White House ballroom.’ In short, a defense of, ahem … Trump. The paper began by noting the ballroom was something of a Rorschach test, with Trump’s opponents viewing his actions as ‘reckless’ while his supporters see ‘a change agent unafraid to decisively take on the status quo.’ But the editors add that ‘it has become far too difficult to build anything in America,’ before concluding: ‘Trump’s undertaking is a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere.'” (10/27/25)
