NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House. The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.

What building permit? Frankly, I would not be surprised if furniture and artwork were left behind in the building and it goes, too. This is happening way too fast to be an orderly process.

It is surprising that the companies doing this are complying. DJT has a reputation for not paying workers for a varied number of reasons. If it were my company, I would not do any work for him without FULL PAYMENT up front. As the government is shut down, who is gonna pay for it? DJT? MAGA? NOT ME

The STUPID construction companies involved really think they will be paid for this? What kind of slip-shod result will stand there in the end? HOW is NOBODY in Congress doing or saying ANYTHING about this? There will be NO consequence either. I am beyond livid!

They never changed course! This is how the conman operates. Like his property is $20mill then $40, next time you talk it’s $75. ADHD run amuck in the WH and somehow this has to stop ✋

It's called Aceco. You can leave bad reviews. Or you can also contact the companies that it has other projects with and complain to them: "demolish platforms along D.C. Metro lines, take down a CSX transportation tunnel in Virginia and replace a wing of a chem bldg at U of Maryland, College Park."

Will Trump tear down W wing as well? There’s a model Trump put out there that shows news bldgs on both sides of WH, with concourses leading to each.

And he certainly won't voluntarily leave at the end of this term. He will have to be carried out. He's not building this monstrosity only to never use it. It's going to get really ugly.

DJT HATES women. Strong, smart, intelligent women annoy him. Just remember how derogatorily he always spoke about Nancy Pelosi. DJT has NO RESPECT for anyone who doesn't bow to him & even then he calls those who bow down childish schoolyard bully names from JD all the way down the line.

I highly doubt this. For him this is just an old building which is in the way. He doesn't care about any historical relevance, he's just creating facts, before anybody could step in. He doesn't give 💩 about architectural detail, as all the gold appliances in the WH demonstrate quite vividly.

The silence on this outrage is deafening. Either Dems are in shock (which makes no sense), or they don't care, or they're afraid to express any criticism (which does make sense). I can only conclude that their leadership is spineless, supine and can't even muster the courage to clutch their pearls.

Absolutely disgusting!!! Why is MAGA going along with this??? Democratic Governors need to stop talking about combating red states gerrymandering and do something!! Get busy redistricting Bkue states. We must get control of House purse strings to stop Trump's destruction of our country.

This is to keep us distracted from all the other deceitful tactics going on elsewhere. Let’s not lose sight on the other crazy shit! 😬 Pete Hegseth -silencing creating opacity! 😬 The deficit is growing even after all the government slice and dicing from Elon! 😬 Voting 😬 Where are the Epstein files?

He’s an evil, lying scumbag. Everything he touches he turns to shit. When the United States has a new president that’s not part of his fascist cult, it must be a top priority to undue everything he’s done to The White House starting with bulldozing his ballroom and rebuilding the East Wing.

Agree, Harry! When an artery bursts or an artery occludes or a liver collapses we'll get a better chance for a pro-democracy president. Then "ballroom" will be converted to Museum of Democracy. Has a major section: History of Autocracy with major subsection "History of Fascism in America".

Trump says lots of things every day and he hinting about the East Wing since he announced wanting a ballroom to rival Versailles. What no one expected was a wrecking crew at 6 AM. And now he says he’ll supply blueprints, before or after completion? Hail King Donald I

Fun Fact: The East Wing was part of the White House. That is why it was called the East Wing instead of the East House. He tore down a large part of the historic White House for his gaudy vanity project. It will look like craps just like everything else he is involved with.

It seems obvious to me that the plan was to remove the exterior of the East Wing and let the Trump Ballroom (tm) flow directly from the East Wing. They must have destroyed a load-bearing structure, and the second floor probably collapsed. Rushed, slip-shod, incompetent, covered up. Trump.

Why? Because tRump is a Narcissistic Psychopath who cannot stand rejection or ridicule. So imagine his anger when he sees over 7 Mil Americans protesting against him. Contempt is swirling around in his brain so he posted AI 💩ing on Americans video then starts demolishing the People's home.

With no more WH East Wing means - no more First Lady & her staff offices, no more family theater, no more visitor entrance, no more secure bunker/Presidential Emergency Operations Center. Where will Trump now hide as he did in 2020 from the Floyd protests or watch fishermen boats being blown up?

Appalling. But the damage is done he will stick us with the bill so the next president should open the space to the people fill it with the history of the White House and leave it as a space for the people to use and enjoy.

And no one in DC gives shit, obviously. I still cannot believe he was allowed to do this. What is next? Besides the arch. Removing the Lincoln Memorial? I hate him more each and every day.

The whole fucking thing😳😳i bet johnson still won't know anything about it and not a single person or thing will come out against it. The next president had better commit to ripping off all that shitty "gold" from everything and fixing the garden and this monstrosity (or inevitably will be)

Trump is going to tear the whole White House down and gift some of the rubble to Putin for his birthday. And every fucking Republican will sign the birthday card. I really hope Dems understand that they need to focus on destroying the GOP. Not rehabilitate. Destroy. End them.

Knew from the first picture. No sign of interior bracing to support the floors and a backhoe isn't a precision instrument. They always planned on total destruction. That way the planning and preservation orgs would have no choice but to approve his design when they get it

My best guess? These idiots tore down the "facade" not realizing it was load-bearing, and the second floor collapsed. The rest follows from there: no admission of incompetence, destroy the entire wing, we always meant to do that.

Impeach and convict him for tearing down the White House after lying about it. Prosecute the architects and construction workers that are doing this. Prosecute the donors that made this happen.

Our Democracy is dead. The Bloated Orange Convicted Felon apparently has a green light to do whatever the fuc& he wants to do. No accountability at all, a petrified and subservient Supreme Court and MAGA congress, severely inadequate and uncoordinated push back and blow back from sane America."

I am getting a little weary of people being surprised that trump does something despite saying he wouldn't. How can they live in this constant state of shock and horror?

When W President, invited to the WH. Didn't want to go, but my late father insisted I must. "It's your house, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." So right; one of the most emotional nights, taking pics in front of Jackie's portrait, listening to the Marine Band. Heartbreaking what's going on

It was the shepherdess thing that really got to them. The previous king, Louis XV, had a close friend who kept exotic animals at his home near Gevauden. One or more escaped and attacked and devoured shepherd boys anx girls in the area, but the identity of the beast was apparently covered up⬇️

you know, at the end of the day, it's just a building. he's doing such horrendous things on a daily basis that as much as i care about the place, i really rather we deal with the real problems and use the pictures to remind people in the coming elections. whole place will ne to be rebuilt after...
