Part of the White House East Wing was demolished on Monday as President Donald Trump sets out to build a massive ballroom.
Photos and videos show part of the East Wing entrance facade, located across from the Treasury Department, being torn down.
“You know, we’re building right behind us. We’re building a ballroom. They’ve wanted a ballroom for 150 years, and I’m giving that honor to this wonderful place,” Trump said on Monday as he held a celebration at the White House East Room for the 2025 NCAA national champion Louisiana State University baseball team.
