Of course it was. Conservatives have a long history of having no appreciation for the arts.
Wonder whether he ever got his dick sucked in there.
There is a bunker under that wing.
Guess who else literally did the exact same thing: Hitler. LITERALLY.
One of the stars of the White House is no more.
The White House Family Theater, the movie theater which first came to be in 1942 when a cloakroom was converted into a screening room, was demolished this week as part of the destruction of the East Wing to make room for President Donald Trump’s planned $300 million ballroom.
From sporting events to film screenings, the theater provided entertainment and enjoyment to presidents and their families since the latter part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency.
hot take: That theater was not very good if youve seen the photos, like it seated less than 20 and the screen was small as hell. It was due for replacement, so hopefully the next administration does so
like ive been to small town holes in the wall that were better than the white house
How Jimmy Carter watched 200+ movies on that thing is beyond me
Pretty sure Clinton would have to say interns were a bit better
The party so sensitive about preserving history is omg what? Destroying it?! *pretends to be shocked*
This is what happens when we elect a president intent on destroying democracy *and* who doesn’t care about the arts.
You know Bill did the popcorn bucket trick.
Considering the best perk for Trump is fucking over the poor, who needs a movie theater when the world is your sandbox. Man I hope he dies soon
Now where are they gonna watch “Birth of a Nation”?
That’s probably part of the motivation for destroying it.
It was torn down for a ballroom
DUH
Bill has to be trolling us lol.
Maybe after they remodel White House, they would update the US infrastructure too? I know, I’m laughing at myself too 🙂
Trump doesn’t have the attention span to sit through a movie. We’ve known this for awhile.
Hate Trump but also couldn’t give less of a shit about the White House. Fucking burn it down I don’t care.
That’s because that’s where he got blowjobs from Monica.
I disagree Clinton watching movies in the White House was the most enjoyable things he did there.
I just can’t believe they’re demolishing the old east wing instead of just building on to the existing east wing.
It’s not like they’re out of land. You could add a ballroom off the back of the east wing and go out into the north lawn
I bet trump hated the theater because movie studios wouldn’t send him free screenings of new releases like they would to every other president
I’m pretty sure old Bill thought getting rapey with his interns was the best perk of the job.
Well, that’s one difference between Trump and the TV show The Man In The High Castle.
The man liked his movies.
One difference. Just the one.
I can think of another thing that was a perk of his job.
In front of cameras he said that. Behind closed doors and I’m guessing the answer would be quite different.
Movie theaters are for people who can sit down and pay attention to something for 90 minutes.
Oh no, not bill clinton…
I have the feeling there were some other perks bill enjoyed more. Mainly the interns.
Obviously that wasn’t the *best* perk, Bill
Monica would like a word..
Movies are too intellectual for this president.
