Trumpâs $300M White House Glow-Up: Ballroom or Bunker?
President Trumpâs latest White House East Wing facelift just hit $300 millionâyes, a ballroom that costs more than your college tuition and a Jeep combined. The East Wing, poor overachiever, first popped up as the East Terrace under Teddy Roosevelt in 1902 before FDR turned it into wartime office space in '42, sparking GOP accusations that he was just flexing his presidential brand. Fast forward, the East Wingâs hosted everyone from Jacqueline Kennedyâs tours in â62 to Lady Bird Johnsonâs gardening shenanigans, Dan Rather grilling Nixon, and Melania Trump walking through Christmas decorations in 2017. Now itâs 2025, and crews are smashing the facade like itâs Trumpâs old tweets, paving the way for this $300 million extravaganza. Trump defended the demolition: 'We had to take down the existing structure,' because apparently, a facelift is easier when you just pulverize it.
