US EditionWashington Post editorial board praises Trump’s demolition of East Wing
The $300 million ballroom funded by major tech corporations addresses outdated White House event spaces, supported by many former Obama and Biden staffers, Washington Post says.
- On Oct. 23, 2025, President Donald Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to make way for a $300 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Comcast, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.

- Preservationists `express horror` that plans bypassed review, and the demolition erased a storied 42-seat East Wing theater, the Post said.
