East Wing Demolished for Trump Ballroom

Donald Trump has demolished the White House’s East Wing to clear space for a $300 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom, leaving the century-old structure in rubble and erasing the East Colonnade, Family Theater, and Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, new photos show. Critics—including preservationists, former officials, and Jason Carter—condemned the teardown, saying Trump bypassed routine federal reviews and defied earlier assurances construction wouldn’t touch the wing. Trump dismissed the backlash, calling the destruction "music to my ears," and says he and friends will fully fund the project. Dirt from the site is reportedly being trucked to a public D.C. golf course for mounds.
