Trump Demolishes 123-year-old White House East Wing for a Ballroom without Permission or Permits

Oct 25, 2025 | In a shocking and swift move, the historic East Wing of the White House has been completely demolished as of October 2025. After standing for 123 years and housing the White House Theater, this iconic structure was leveled over several days to make way for a new, privately funded grand ballroom planned by the Trump administration. This monumental change has ignited a firestorm of controversy. Preservationists are in an uproar, mourning the loss of a significant piece of American architectural history. Critics are demanding answers about the unusual haste of the demolition and questioning the President's true motives for replacing a historic wing with a private-use ballroom.

Truth To Power: The Truth about Trump's "Epstein Wing" Ballroom

Oct 25, 2025 | Donald Trump’s turning the White House into his own private event venue — knocking down part of the historic East Wing to build a $250 million ballroom nobody asked for. It’s the perfect metaphor for everything he’s done to America’s democracy: tacky, self-glorifying, and corrupt.

Trump’s latest vanity project isn’t just about bad taste — it’s about autocracy as performance art. From his “Arc de Trump” to hosting the G20 at his own resort, this is politics as theatre, where public office becomes private profit, truth becomes optional, and democracy becomes a stage set.

Meanwhile, in Britain, Nigel Farage is auditioning for the same role. Will the UK follow the same path? Or will voters see the Trump Show for what it really is: a demolition of democracy, one chandelier at a time?


Donald Trump is FAKE. Everything about him is fake. He's got fake blond hair, fake 'tanned, orange skin, false teeth, and just about everything he utters is less than truthful. How Americans were stupid enough to re-elect this imposter, I can neither imagine nor comprehend. What I do comprehend, though, is this: They have done themselves, and the rest of us, a great disservice. We all have to suffer through the consequences of their folly and poor judgment. — © Mark Alexander

Extreme Makeover: Authoritarian Edition

Oct 24, 2025 | The White House East Wing didn’t fall—it got vibed out of existence. Trump’s building a ballroom fit for his ego, bulldozing history for a disco ball. In this week’s Elephant in the Room, Rick drags the Trump ballroom demolition 2025 mess like it’s an HGTV fever dream gone fascist. We’re talking $300 million in private “donations,” government accountability in shambles, and a former president who treats democracy like a side hustle. It’s giving Marie Antoinette-core, dripping in gold, and built on pure delusion. Tune in for a darkly hilarious breakdown of how Trump’s corruption and power trip just turned America’s most iconic building into his personal event space—because of course he did. •

A Pile of Rubble: After 123 Years, the East Wing Is Gone

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Critics are outraged over President Trump’s demolition of the East Wing to make way for his $300 million ballroom. Others say it was time for change.

The East Wing, the entrance to the White House for millions of Americans on official tours, the site of offices for every first lady for nearly a half century and the home of calligraphers who prepared thousands of invitations for White House state dinners, disappeared into a pile of rubble on Thursday. It had stood for 123 years.

Built in 1902 during the Theodore Roosevelt administration as an entryway for guests arriving in carriages, and rebuilt in the 1940s during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency, the East Wing met its end under orders from President Trump. He dismissed it this week as “a very small building” that was in the way of his planned 90,000-square-foot, $300 million ballroom.

A New York Times analysis of satellite imagery showed that the demolition included the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden and the East Colonnade, which connected the East Wing to the White House and included the president’s theater.

The East Wing’s destruction prompted outrage from preservationists and Democrats, and mourning from those who once worked there. » | Elisabeth Bumiller | Reporting from Washington | Thursday, October 23, 2025

More criminal activity! Sheer vandalism. The destruction of the American story. Replacing dignified history with naffness and bling. This could raise laughs in a Reality TV show, but in real life it’s heartbreaking. — © Mark Alexander
