US EditionMets Legend Takes Swing at ‘Hypocrisy’ over Trump’s Latest White House Controversy: ‘You (Expletive)’
President Trump initiated demolition of the White House East Wing to build a $350 million ballroom, funded privately, raising legal and historic preservation concerns.
- This past week, US President Donald Trump began tearing down the East Wing of the White House, Washington, D.C., surprising pedestrians on October 21, 2025.
- Following repeated public assurances that the East Wing would remain intact, Trump said at a donors' dinner last week, `Everything out there is coming down and we’re replacing it with one of the most beautiful ballrooms you’ve ever seen`.
- The planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom will dwarf the main building and is financed by contributions from private companies with business before the Trump administration, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and OpenAI.
- Historians warned the demolition buries nearly a century of first ladies' offices and initiatives, while former East Wing staffers called seeing their old offices torn down `a gut punch`.
- With oversight agencies closed during the government shutdown and the National Capitol Planning Commission chaired by Will Scharf, officials say the commission approves construction but not demolition, raising legal questions.
