A new photo showing the partially demolished East Wing of the White House began circulating widely on social media Monday afternoon, as plans move forward for Donald Trump’s new $250 million ballroom.
The Washington Post first reported the news of the demolition, saying that constructions crews were using a backhoe to rip through and demolish a portion of the White House’s East Wing. The publication included a photo with its report, which was quickly shared by social media users, some of whom used the image to criticize the president.
“Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down,” podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen wrote on X, sharing the photo.

Does demolishing a 120+ year old historical building to replace it with a gold-plated ballroom sound like the actions of a man who intends to leave office in 3 years time?
“Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down,”
This kind of overt and vain corruption will not go down well in other countries. This alone should cause mass riots and demonstrations. I guess Americans are still getting used to dealing with autocracies.
I vote for the canadians to set fire to the place again. Anyone else with me?
As long as this upsets people, he will continue to do it.
Sums up this year and this administration perfectly.
I’m starting to think Donald took the decades of jokes about him a bit personally.
This guy has no respect for anything.
We only have one picture in the world wide web of this ballroom being built???
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this image pretty much encapsulates his entire time in power.
Fucking clown cunt.
Could use a couple of rusted-out cars on the lawn.
I can’t understand how anyone can be so brainwashed that they voted trump, they can’t afford groceries, yet they’re completely supportive of this stupid ballroom
well you see russian propaganda through FOX, joe roegan, tim poole, jordan peterson helped. plus all the culture war stuff like anti-trans, anti-woman, anti-poc leaders.
Marketing, that’s how [propaganda]. Humanity’s most dangerous technology.
massive propaganda farms of russia helped.
As long as it annoys the liberals and as long as they think they or their white brethren get to tackle brown people and disappear them, it’s all good, bro.
Peasants and their blind faith to monarchy hoping for crumbs
No money for health care but here’s 40 billion for Argentina and a 250 million dollar ballroom for my rich knob gobbling friends. Trumps fucking america hard
40 billion actually is bailing out usa investors in argenitina, milei gets some of that money to stay quiet on the issue. i believe the investors are associated with BESSENET.
and two private jets for my terrorizer in chief and one for me
And he’s suing to have the DOJ give him a handout of $230 million in our money.
Man what better symbolism for his presidency than that image right there. Wow.
I was always partial to this one.
This one along with the diversity wall mural at the FBI being painted over with gray paint.
Should replace it with a mural of all the minority leaders the FBI killed throughout the years. Would be a more accurate representation of what they do.
I am genuinely shocked at little these days.
I am absolutely floored that Trump, of all people didn’t devise a way to sell tiny little bits of the East Wing to MAGA chuds for $4700 an ounce.
Like, you want a cognitive test he just failed? A pure gold grift just passed him by. Someone call a doctor, he’s not doing OK.
Get your ground up White House dust! It cures what ails you.
SSSSsssnnoooooooo0000ooooooort!
Nya! Wow, yeah, that’s better than rhino horn. WHOO, definitely lead-based paint in that shit! WHOOO!
Nya!
Clearly not cured, snort more :3
He’ll almost certainly be selling access to the new east wing, so I guess there’s that.
Don’t worry guys, even though Donald Trump promised to get consumer costs under control on DAY ONE he still has huge throngs of apologists saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day!” “You think you can fix this much stuff Biden broke so quickly?” “Actually, things ARE fixed already!”
For a con-man to flourish, he requires a steady stream of gullible people. Our country has a surplus and more are being manufactured every day. You might say ignorance is our #1 export.
We had an economy that was “the envy of the world” this time last year. And a whole lot of idiots were convinced it was akin to the Great Depression or something.
And so many sat out or voted third party or voted for the pedo-in-chief. Given the way this dumbass and his pals are sitting around and self-dealing and fiddling while they cause cities to erupt in chaos, I think we might just find out how bad everything, including the economy, can really get.
Nothing says “america first” any better than a Swedish excavator dismantling the white house
Has any reporter asked if they are union workers?
Government work operates on prevailing wage, can’t specify union or not.
Whether or not they abided by this requirement I couldn’t say.
