      President Donald Trumps White House ballroom saga last week followed a familiar Trump-era arc: A bunch of the presidents critics sounded the alarm about his latest provocation  in this case, the sudden and surprising demolition of the East Wing  and a bunch of other people questioned what the big deal was.

The Washington Post editorial board said Trump was characteristically pursuing a reasonable idea in the most jarring manner possible. But it praised him for charging ahead and delivering a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere.

It shows Americans disapproved of Trumps demolition of the East Wing (57%-26%), his plans for replacing it with a 90,000-square foot ballroom (61%-25%) and his broader handling of the situation (55%-28%) all by around a 2-to-1 margin.
