A part of the White House's East Wing has been torn down and will be remodeled as a new ballroom. Democrats and some in the media aren't pointing out that the construction is being privately funded, and they're also trying to get everybody to believe that presidential remodeling efforts are in some way unprecedented. They are of course being dishonest on both counts.
Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing.

Taft made the Executive Office oval.
FDR added the entire East Wing and included an indoor pool for himself.
Truman gutted the entire White House.
Nixon added a bowling alley.
Obama added a basketball court.

Earlier today Mindy wrote about the leftist media's latest reason to have a tantrum (tomorrow will bring with it a different reason). Here's an example:
JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post) pic.twitter.com/qVUzEajM8j

Naturally California Gov. Gavin Newsom had to get in on this action, having solved all other problems in his own state:
Donald Trump doesn’t want you to see this picture.

He’s literally destroying the White House. pic.twitter.com/W63bLLwt82
Hillary Clinton, who will never have the chance to do any White House renovations as president, posted this (with the comments disabled of course):
It’s not his house.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 21, 2025
It’s your house.
And he’s destroying it. pic.twitter.com/YchFF5U1nO
Considering what went on in there when Hillary's husband was in office maybe she should have avoided joining the "look what he's doing to the White House" commentary.

So you've seen the kinds of pictures the Dems and lefty media are using, but let's zoom out a little bit to see what the affected area looks like compared to the entire White House complex:
People are freaking out about the ballroom at the white house and how he is “destroying it” while posting deceiving perspective angles. The east wing is not even close to the White House 😂 pic.twitter.com/fms8PZ4ToB

And it's not even the entire East Wing that's being remodeled, just that portion outlined in red:
At least we know Gavin thinks we are idiots. The east wing was built in 1942. pic.twitter.com/OQbiX2wYeP

The pictures Dems and their media allies are posting make it look like the entire place is being torn down, because they can't stop lying and trying to deceive. At this point it's all they've got.
