One of life’s most underrated skills is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. I’ll admit I haven’t always mastered that myself — but wow, Chelsea Clinton absolutely flunked that test on Thursday.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, you’ve seen the Left’s latest meltdown — this time over President Donald Trump using private donations to remodel part of the East Wing into a ballroom. Yes, really. Since photos of the construction hit the internet, Democrats and their media allies have been tripping over themselves to call it “the destruction of democracy.”
You can’t make this stuff up. The same people who shrugged off real corruption are now clutching their pearls over a privately funded ballroom. It’s the perfect snapshot of modern liberalism — hysterical, hypocritical, and completely disconnected from reality.
The pearl-clutching from Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Jim Acosta has been laughable enough on its own — but if you happened to live in the White House during the Clinton years, maybe sit this one out. Seriously, the best time for the Clintons to comment on anything involving renovations or decor would be never.
But restraint has never exactly been their strong suit. Instead, Chelsea Clinton decided to wade right into the outrage mob, proving once again that self-awareness is not a hereditary trait in that family.
The White House became my home when I was twelve years old. I always understood that it wasn’t my ‘house’; it was The People’s House. https://t.co/4nwSllGaRj

Just…wow. Where to begin?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say a child probably wasn’t pondering the symbolic meaning of “The People’s House” while picking out curtains for her bedroom. But let’s be honest — if there’s one family in presidential history that should stay completely silent about how the White House was treated, it’s the Clintons.
After the furniture “souvenirs,” the vandalized offices, and the taxpayer-funded drama that followed them out the door, they’re the last people on Earth who should be lecturing anyone about respect for the place.
The most glaring example of White House “desecration” came courtesy of Chelsea’s father, then-President Bill Clinton, who infamously used the Oval Office for behavior that was anything but presidential — involving an intern and a cigar. The Monica Lewinsky affair became one of the most notorious scandals in American political history.
But make no mistake, the Clintons’ disrespect for The People’s House didn’t stop there. From the vandalism left behind during their chaotic exit to the “souvenirs” they tried to walk off with, their time in Washington was a masterclass in entitlement and disgrace. They turned the White House into a punchline, and now they want to lecture Trump about dignity?
During the Clinton years, the Lincoln Bedroom wasn’t treated as a historic landmark — it was turned into a fundraising perk for deep-pocketed Democratic donors. Overnight stays were handed out like party favors to anyone willing to write a big enough check.
And when the Clintons finally left the White House, they didn’t exactly leave it empty-handed. They carted off furniture and household items they dubiously claimed were “gifts.” It wasn’t until they faced mounting public outrage that they begrudgingly returned the loot.
Oh, and who could forget the petty vandalism spree after George W. Bush’s 2000 victory — including the now-infamous removal of the “W” keys from White House keyboards? Class acts, every one of them. Yet somehow, we’re supposed to take lectures from them about respecting the White House.
The notion that the Clintons ever showed “deep respect” for The People’s House is downright laughable. This is the same family that treated the place like a personal hotel, a fundraiser venue, and a frat house — not a sacred symbol of the republic.
And even setting that aside, what on earth does any of this have to do with President Trump building a privately funded ballroom on the East Wing — a section that isn’t even part of the White House’s historic core? How is that a scandal?
Yet at Thursday’s White House press briefing, you’d think Trump was bulldozing the Lincoln Memorial.
Give me a break.
