Trump had said earlier that his planned ballroom wouldn't interfere with the existing White House, but confirmed yesterday that the entire East Wing will be demolished. The National Trust for Historic Preservation was not consulted, and plans did not go through the legally required public review processes. I guess it will match the corporate-bland care home-style paved patio now in place of the Rose Garden. Easy to clean! Throw some slots and a bunch of fake gold in there and it's just like the good old days!
