flag Trump starts $300M White House East Wing demolition for ballroom, breaking promise and sparking bipartisan backlash.

flag In October 2025, President Donald Trump began demolishing the White House East Wing for a $300 million ballroom project, breaking a prior pledge not to alter the building’s structure. flag The move, claimed to be privately funded, has sparked bipartisan concern, with Democrats like Senators Warner and Gallego warning it could set a precedent for changing national monuments, including the Lincoln Memorial. flag The administration removed all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, raising oversight concerns. flag While Republicans, including Speaker Johnson, defended the project, critics argue it reflects growing presidential overreach and threatens institutional integrity ahead of the 2026 midterms.
