The East Wing’s very plainness came to symbolize the functional modesty of democratic government: a space for staff, not spectacle; for the sustaining rituals of civic life, not the exhibition of personal glory. All of that is now gone, Adam Gopnik writes.

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt welcomed all visitors to the White House.
That must have kept this administration up nights until they could knock it down. To build a ballroom we can't afford, during a shutdown, for a president who just posted himself dropping shit on the country.
