The East Wing, it's where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady

[sheshe2]

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.

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

1. I simply do not understand why there is not a White House historical group that has to approve/oversee such changes?

How can this be at the whim of a single abysmal demented cretin?

He fired them all when he entered the WH.

2. Of course he would do this...he is a destroyer

He is a terrible businessman, a terrible Realtor and terrible developer. All his business have failed. He hates everything except himself and $$$$$. He's like Godzilla stomping on everything/everyone in his path.

He's a racist misogynist who destroys anything American. He values nothing.

He promised to preserve the iconic Bonwit Tellers doors when he tore their building down...he lied of course.

6. He takes everything of beauty and history, then destroys it.
