White House begins demolishing part of East Wing for Trump ballroom

The White House has begun the process of demolishing a portion of the East Wing to create a new ballroom for former President Donald Trump. The project involves the removal of a large covered entryway and windows, clearing the way for the construction of Trump's new event space. The decision to undertake this renovation has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it represents a significant alteration to the historical and architectural integrity of the White House. Supporters of the project, however, maintain that it will provide a valuable addition to the presidential residence, allowing for the hosting of larger-scale events and functions. The exact cost and timeline for the completion of the ballroom project have not been publicly disclosed. The White House has stated that the demolition work is currently underway, but has not provided further details on the overall scope or impact of the renovation.
