That’s a historical building. And that motherfucker just tore it apart.
The East wing façade was built in 1902.
No president has ever demolished part of the White House for their own personal gain.
And don’t even try to say that’s not what this is.
It’s also, possibly… https://t.co/70vviNihj3

If President Obama wrecked part of the White House the way trump is doing now, MAGA would've been out there with pitchforks.

This is utterly insane. That's our house. No one has approved this in Congress? The Republicans in the House are just a doormat now. Disgusting. https://t.co/jBlnYBdLcB

The level of sad this makes me, I cannot express in words
No single US president should be allowed to destroy our House, or any federal historical building without a major act of Congress.
And what do we hear, crickets https://t.co/HsuGhCoRuH

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Donald Trump tearing down an iconic symbol of America and replacing it with a gaudy monument to himself couldn’t be more on brand for his presidency. https://t.co/7tbiXbIey6

Maria Shriver, journalist and niece of John F. Kennedy, spoke for many.
This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god. https://t.co/zWH6H7pOIC
