We just got the news that work has begun on the East Wing of the White House to make room for a new presidential ballroom, a 250 millions dollars project personally championed by Trump. The partial demolition has ignited fierce reactions online and in political circles, with many calling it a vanity-driven alteration of a national landmark. The White House has not commented on the renovation, which Trump says will be privately funded by corporate allies and donors. Images showing torn-down sections of the East Wing have circulated widely, intensifying debate over the appropriateness of such an opulent addition during a government shutdown.
