TIL the White House used porta-potties

The Washington Post (!) comes out in favor of a new ballroom at the East Wing: "In defense of the White House ballroom."
In classic Trump fashion, the president is pursuing a reasonable idea in the most jarring manner possible. Privately, many alumni of the Biden and Obama White Houses acknowledge the long-overdue need for an event space like what Trump is creating. It is absurd that tents need to be erected on the South Lawn for state dinners, and VIPs are forced to use porta-potties.
Right this way, your majesty!  Oh man, that's just embarrassing for the nation.  As the editorial notes, the State Dining Room seats 140 which is barely enough for a visiting dignitary and his/her retinue.
