Nicolle Wallace: Trump’s Rendition Of A Ballroom Looks Like The Winter Palace Ballroom In Russia
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace eagerly compares President Donald Trump’s plans for a White House ballroom to the winter palace ballroom in Saint Petersburg, Russia
NICOLLE WALLACE, MSNBC HOST: Alex, it’s not his house, it’s probably the single best distillation of what’s so unsettling about this, but it’s also un-American, what he plans to do, right? Like, what’s going to go up in its place is not anything that we’re used to seeing here. Here’s a side-by-side of Trump’s rendition of a ballroom with the Winter Palace ballroom in St. Petersburg. Russia! ALEX WAGNER, MSNBC: Yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia. I mean, autocrats have a similar aesthetic, they like a lot of golds. It’s going to be 90,000 square feet, Nicolle. The White House itself, the residence, is 55,000. It’s going to be the world’s largest corporate event space on the White House grounds, I guess.
