if yall could do the white house again like last time it'd be much appreciated

That was the British, in 1814.

Huh. Read up on it and yeah that's a more accurate description of "who" burned down the white house since it was British generals

In retaliation for US aggression against the Canadian (then) colony, which I guess is where the misconception comes from

In my defense my US public school history education was pretty dogshit
