Washington – President Donald Trump is demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House, a major change from his previous pledge not to touch the historic building as it damages it.

Trump confirmed his plans at the White House on Wednesday evening.
“We decided that, after a very important study of some of the best architects in the world, we decided that really knocking, trying to use a small section – you know, the East Wing, it wasn’t much,” he said in words in the oval office.
It’s not clear whether these alleged founders can learn anything from this, given that Trump is moving ahead with his plans. Demolition of The East Wing began Monday, and the white house has not sent any plans for the Federal agency looking at the construction of federal buildings.
A request for comment from the White House was not returned.

Trump initially said he would not touch the East Wing when he announced his renovation plans in July, saying the building was his ‘love.’
“It’s going to be great,” he said said then. “It’s not going to interfere with the current building. It’s not going to be – it’s going to be a nuisance, but it’s not going to affect it. And I pay a lot of respect to the existing building.”

The President has always wanted to install a 90,000-square-foot, 250 million event space at the White House. White House officials have been around for as long as Trump is slated to leave and his administration has made way for him, and Trump supporters on social media have downplayed his plans.
Trump maintains the project will be paid for with private donations and his own money, and no public dollars. BUt has not yet released a complete list of who is paying for this or how much they are spending. One of the funding companies is YouTube, which provides $22 million for the project. That money comes from the latest 2021 Trump settlement brought against YouTube, which sponsors Google.

At least one Republican conservative is not happy that Trump has decided to destroy the white house in the middle of the ongoing government shutdown, which the President has done nothing to help resolve.
“It’s a bad time,” Sen. Thom Tillis (RN.C.) he told huffpost on tuesday.
“We’re in the middle of closing,” he said. “I found a few other things happening that we should focus on ahead of the construction project.”
