In George Washington's time chamber pots and outhouses were the norm. However the highlighted text below really surprised me. 

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.
