💨 Abstract

The White House's East Wing, built in 1902 and traditionally used by the first lady, is being demolished by Donald Trump to construct a large ballroom. The demolition began without approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, which oversees such projects. The East Wing's offices will be temporarily relocated during construction. Trump claims the ballroom is necessary due to the East Room's limited capacity. The project has sparked controversy, with critics comparing it to Trump's perceived disregard for the Constitution.
