The Trump administration is planning to demolish the entirety of the White House's East Wing as early as this weekend, two senior administration officials said, part of a ballroom project championed by President Trump.

Did Trump flip-flop on White House East Wing demolition? Yes

On July 31, President Donald Trump said construction of his new ballroom on the White House grounds “won't interfere with the current building.” It’s not clear whether that was the plan then, and it’s certainly not the plan now. We rate his statement a Full Flop.

White House East Wing will be torn down ‘within days’ even as no plans filed for Trump’s new ballroom

Demolition has drawn fierce backlash, with National Trust for Historic Preservation saying plans are ‘legally required’

And Trump also said no taxpayer money will be used

Please, do go ahead, get into it, love to see how Obama compromised our national security because he didn’t build a ballroom, it should be comical

Trump consider the White House Mansion to be the White House not the 40's era East Wing which is not part of the original mansion.

Everyone else considered the East Wing part of the White House....as its name implies.....and Trump certainly knew that.

He Lied.

 

[Hawkeye10]

I saw him claim that the East Wing was a different building......FUCKER.

His wife won't live with him, so she doesn't need the first lady's traditional office space in the East Wing, and Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about future first ladies.

Nope the Mansion wasn't touched the East Wing that was built in the mid forties was torn down and will be modernized and rebuilt to a more usable form. He didn't lie he changed his mind.

Makes no sense, and Trump doesn’t own the White House, he is only its current occupant, temporary residents usually don’t tear down and rebuild the structure they provisionally reside in

Trump is a fucking classless moron...who wants to turn everything he touches in a gold guilted piece of shit. He knows his followers are also classless morons, so they love that stuff.

You only have a single trailer home to live in so you can't understand. Melania has three homes the White House, Mar A Largo, and Trump Tower. She lives in all three locations. Think Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
