Furious Kamala Harris Throws Major Shade at Trump Over His Ballroom Plans The Internet Is Losing It! (Video)
Kamala Harris let her anger show during a heated interview on Jon Stewart’s The Weekly Show podcast, where she lashed out at President Donald Trump over his decision to continue the White House ballroom renovations while millions of Americans are struggling with a government shutdown.
Visibly frustrated, Harris exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?” as she accused Trump of caring more about luxury projects than the people suffering due to halted food assistance. She argued that the president’s priorities were completely out of touch with reality.
“This man is focused on building a fancy ballroom for his wealthy friends while ignoring the fact that babies and families are about to go hungry because food aid is being cut off,” she said passionately. “How can anyone justify that?”
Photos of the construction show heavy equipment tearing down parts of the East Wing of the White House to make way for the new ballroom a project that reportedly costs around $300 million. Despite the outrage, the White House has maintained that the entire expansion is being funded by private donors, not taxpayer money.
Harris, however, wasn’t convinced. “I’m not going to get distracted by talk about how big his hammer is or how impressive the construction looks,” she added sharply. “What about the children who won’t have food when the SNAP benefits stop in a few hours? That’s what matters.”
Her emotional remarks came after Stewart asked whether struggling Democrats could learn something from Trump’s aggressive and disruptive style of leadership. Harris pushed back, saying, “We shouldn’t confuse disruption with destruction. Leadership isn’t about tearing things down—it’s about building up people’s lives.”
Meanwhile, as the shutdown drags on, the Senate has voted for the 13th time to keep the government closed. Millions of Americans risk losing access to vital food aid programs like SNAP, which provide basic nutrition for low-income families.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told The Post that there’s a straightforward way to solve the crisis: “If Democrats would just give us five votes, we could reopen the government and make sure people get the food assistance they need.”
The motion to reopen the government failed again, with a 54–45 vote on Tuesday, leaving the standoff unresolved and tensions between both parties at an all-time high.
Harris’s fiery comments captured the frustration felt by many Americans who see political games being played in Washington while everyday families worry about their next meal.
