Everyone’s Fearing the Same Thing as Donald Trump Begins White House Demolition to Make Way for $250 Million Ballroom

The $400 million project is privately funded by major corporations and includes rebranding the East Potomac Golf Links, while military involvement ensures high standards, officials said.

  • On Thursday, October 23, 2025, Trump ordered the demolition of the East Wing to build a 90,000-square-foot, $300 million ballroom, saying `We collapse that over the next few days...`
  • After advisers reviewed renderings, Leavitt said, `The plans changed`—initially claiming `nothing will be torn down` when the project was announced in July 2025, according to the White House Press Secretary.
  • The White House released its donor list and it included major tech, defense, and telecom firms, with Alphabet pledging $22,000,000 and donations managed by the Trust for the National Mall.
  • Public reaction was swift, with a YouGov poll showing 53% oppose and 23% support as the demolition removed the tour entrance and First Lady's offices, shocking former East Wing staffers and protesters including Suzanne Jordan.
  • The U.S. military is involved in renovating East Potomac Golf Links, which Trump may rebrand as Washington National Golf Course, while yesterday the Department of War conducted a lethal Eastern Pacific strike killing two narco-terrorists.
