Trump is not “renovating” anything. The historical east wing was completely demolished and will not be rebuilt, despite Trump’s early promises not to touch it. This ballroom is an abomination completely out of scale and harmony with the rest of the structure. 10$ says he will not be able to resist the urge to carve his name on it.
Interesting article! I had no idea of the numerous changes that had been made to the White House over time, especially the tearing down and complete rebuilding in 1948.
Since First Couples apparently crave privacy historically at least the prospective rebuild should incorporate a wall to ensure it. Since the sitting president is a construction mogul with a penchant for building walls, Trump should be given a crack at it along with his ballroom !
So, Trump is out of there in January of 2029, but his Gilded Age ballroom won’t be complete until 2029? About the same time, his flying palace, gifted by Qatar, will be ready after a billion dollars of taxpayer money. Hmm, I’m thinking someone has no plans to leave.
