Hold onto your hats, folks -- President Donald Trump’s latest White House project has unleashed a social media storm that’s dredging up old dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The story centers on a privately funded ballroom construction at the White House, sparking sharp criticism from Clinton and a fierce conservative counterattack over her past controversies, as Fox News reports.

Trump recently announced the start of construction on a massive new ballroom at the White House, spanning 90,000 square feet and designed to seat around 650 guests.

Trump announces ambitious project

“I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom,” Trump declared with his signature flair.

Funded entirely by private dollars, the White House insists this project—along with other updates like two towering 88-foot American flags and a refreshed Rose Garden -- comes at no cost to taxpayers. The administration argues these changes will leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

But not everyone is applauding this grand vision, and the loudest critic is none other than Hillary Clinton, who couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the endeavor.

Clinton's critique sparks backlash

“It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,” Clinton posted, framing Trump’s project as a personal overreach on a public treasure.

While her words might stir some nods from the progressive crowd, they’ve ignited a firestorm among conservatives who see a hefty dose of hypocrisy in her critique. After all, the Clintons’ own history with White House property isn’t exactly spotless.

Back in 2001, as Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House, they faced accusations of walking off with $28,000 worth of furnishings and later repaid $86,000 for various gifts. Critics on social media were quick to refresh everyone’s memory on this dusty scandal.

Conservatives revisit Clinton controversies

“Hi Hillary, Remind us, wasn’t it you who walked off with $28,000 in White House furniture when you moved out?” tweeted Benny Johnson, capturing the biting sentiment of many on the right.

Other past controversies, like the Lincoln Bedroom debacle and Bill Clinton’s personal scandals, also resurfaced as conservatives piled on, suggesting Clinton’s moral high ground might be more of a shaky soapbox. The online jabs weren’t just sharp—they were a reminder that political memories run long and deep.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in with a sly dig, saying, “At least he didn’t steal the silverware,” a quip that cuts to the heart of the conservative argument: Trump’s renovations, right or wrong, aren’t pilfering public property.

Debating legacy, hypocrisy in politics

Supporters of Trump argue that his updates are a patriotic effort to enhance a national symbol, not a personal grab for glory. The White House has stressed that these improvements, from flags to gardens to ballrooms, aim to benefit all Americans down the line.

Yet Clinton’s critique does raise a fair question about how much personal influence a president should wield over a shared historic space. Still, her own baggage makes it tough for many to take her objections at face value without a side-eye to history.

In the end, this clash isn’t just about a ballroom -- it’s a microcosm of deeper divides over legacy, accountability, and who gets to define what “our house” really means. As the construction continues, so will the debate, with both sides digging in their heels over what’s truly at stake here.
