Conservatives and liberals alike are reacting to the report that President Trump called the White House “a real dump.”
A White House spokesman denied those comments, but it certainly sounds like something he would say.
If it’s true, I’m sure he made the comment in jest. He still shouldn’t have said it though. Don’t crap all over the White House. I know it’s a downgrade for him, but still. Just…don’t.

Sounds like it could just be bullshitting but still not a great quote even in context https://t.co/abx3q2jaJf pic.twitter.com/a50GMxLx8K

If Obama had called the White House a “dump”–even in jest–white people would be screaming about it until the Sun swallows our solar system https://t.co/wNwgZP4nKA

“The White House is a dump” would’ve been a week-long scandal/PR crisis in the Obama admin, crowing out all talk of everything else.

It’s really cute how they’re suddenly horrified by a possible double standard in media coverage.

Imagine if obama did that. 24 hour coverage on Fox News. Hypocrites are the lowest form of life.— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) August 1, 2017
Kurt Eichenwald would know all about assessing the lowest forms of human life.
Thank you to all the White House ushers, butlers, maids, chefs, florists, gardeners, plumbers, engineers & curators for all you do every day https://t.co/rjQS9HeALG

Oddly enough, she didn’t say anything about hardworking interns. I wonder why that is…
ANYWAY. MSM’s upset that other people aren’t more upset. That’s basically what this entire thing amounts to. MSM is freaking out over a double standard, even though they cover virtually every aspect of Trump’s presidency with a glaring double standard.
I’d just like to take this moment to remind members of the mainstream media that Michelle Obama once described the White House as having “prison elements” later adding, “a really nice prison.”
“It’s hell,” she reportedly said. “I can’t stand it!”
Michelle Obama shows her patriotic spirit by griping about “prison” life in the White House. http://t.co/YORXZYSeBC

#MichellesPrison: the American public committed the criminal offense of voting for Obama – Michelle gets the sentence.

Michelle’s handcuffs are Versce, and by handcuffs I mean bathing suit she wears at beach she rented out for the day. #MichellesPrison

What’s worse? Calling the White House a dump or a prison? That is the question.
