Fox News Anchor Joey Jones Dismisses Democratic Criticism of Trump’s $300M White House East Wing Ballroom

Fox News host Joey Jones criticized Democratic outrage over President Donald Trump's demolition of the White House East Wing to build a new $300 million ballroom, calling the backlash "so stupid" and saying most Americans do not care about the East Wing. Jones argued that when people think of the White House, they picture the front-facing center section seen on currency, not the lesser-known East Wing, which he said only gained attention due to the TV show "The West Wing." He also accused Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, of hypocrisy for focusing on the ballroom while previously showing indifference when statues of historical figures like Thomas Jefferson were removed. Trump has emphasized that the ballroom project is privately funded by tech giants such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Google, and has joked about the "beautiful sound of construction" symbolizing money being spent. Jones urged Democrats to concentrate on more pressing issues like reopening the government rather than complaining about the White House renovation. The segment featured a chyron mocking the opposition as "Ballroom Derangement Syndrome," paralleling the term "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
