Trump is demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House, after initially pledging it wouldn't be touched by his renovations for his massive new ballroom.

It's expected to be fully torn down by this weekend. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Can anyone stop Trump’s teardown of the East Wing?
Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too.

he promised to donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art several art deco treasures from the building’s edifice, including a pair of 15-foot-tall reliefs depicting nude women and an ornate grill from the entrance.

Instead, Trump’s workmen jackhammered the reliefs, and the grill vanished.

Trump has a history of rankling preservationists that dates back to his years as a New York developer.
In the early 1980s, after razing the Bonwit Teller department store on Fifth Avenue to make way for Trump Tower,

Oh, so now the ballroom budget has magically mushroomed to $300 million now...

What's next, one Billion?

Trump defends East Wing demolition, raises ballroom price to $300 million...

And we still don't know who's really paying for the ballroom...

You see what happens when you let Trump
get his hands on a building.

The problem is,

this is the WHITE HOUSE!

(Thanks a lot,
Trump-groupie voters.)

He will especially like this photo.
This, "before" shot.

The more torn up it looks, the better. (He thinks)

(Then he builds a ballroom,
and says: See what I did.)

He is doing the same thing he always does
(because it's a "plan".)

He tears things up,
so that he can then, 'fix it'.

That is exactly what he is doing.

Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?

PHOTOS: White House starts East Wing demolition to build Trump's ballroom
The Republican president has said he's adding a 90,000-square-foot ballroom because the East Room, the largest room in the White House with an approximately 200-person capacity, is too small.

... The Republican president had said in July when the project was announced that the ballroom would not interfere with the mansion itself.

“It’ll be near it but not touching it and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of,” he said of the White House.

WATCH: “All of this is going to have to be investigated,” says Jeffries on Trump gutting the entire White House East Wing to build a ballroom. “That's our warning to all of these people participating in this scheming to manipulate taxpayer dollars and, of course, to destroy the people's house.”

Okay, I am losing it, nothing but mad as hell. Why hasn’t someone filed an Injunction to Stop the demolition and destruction of the White House East Wing. How did this even start. Don’t the repubs give a shit at all about the People’s House being destroyed? Building this obscene ballroom

the east wing thing is infuriating and really pissing me off more than i would have expected it would, and I guess in one regard there really isn't anything more American than destroying something perfectly good and the only plan is to replace it was someting more expensive and shittier
