Demolition of White House East Wing begins to prepare Trump Ballroom

Massive Parts of a covered entryway were tore down by construction crews on Monday, which Donald Trump said is being “fully modernized.” He said previously that his $250m ballroom addition would be “near” the existing building but not change it. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. it’ll be near it but not touching it – and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of,” Trump said in the month of July.
