Pic of demolishing of East Wing for Trump's ballroom:

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his 0M+ ballroom.

East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.

shithole and comrades are probably selling to the highest bidder relics, history items, and destroying the ones that they hate.

What they are doing to the WH is fucking illegal.

How in the world can he just DO this? He doesn’t own the White House - WE do.
