Satellite images show before and after of demolition of White House East Wing

The East Wing, where first ladies created history, planned state dinners and promoted causes, is now history itself. The two-story structure of drawing rooms and offices, including workspace for first ladies and their staffs, has been turned into rubble, demolished as part of the Republican president's plan to build what he said is now a $300 million ballroom nearly twice the size of the White House.


This satellite image from Planet Labs PBC shows the White House in Washington, Sept. 26, 2025, with the East Wing intact before demolition began.

1. Earlier this year

[Joinfortmill]

2. Every night I pray Satan comes for his boy.

[bluestarone]

8. I hear ya, BUT

Afraid i've given up on God and SATAN. WE cannot count on them.

[Queso Delicioso]

13. Two hands at work...

will accomplish more than two million clasped in prayer.

[Joinfortmill]

20. Ha!

[pandr32]

46. Absolutely!

[Joinfortmill]

19. I know. But I still do it. Maybe the Universe is listening.

[stage left]

27. Perhaps Azrael, the angel of death.

Metaphorically speaking. Trump looks terrible. Of course he's always looked terrible. But now he looks gaunt.

[Joinfortmill]

30. He does, indeed.

[popsdenver]

53. Exactly

Living Factual Proof there is no GOD.........All of Trump's right wing Religious Fanatics and Evangelicals are worshipping an imaginary companion.
(The same type of imaginary companions as 3-4 Year olds have)

[kerry-is-my-prez]

55. I used to think Satan was fictional but it's the only explanation for this weird-ass stuff going on.

And the millions of MAGA people who are spellbound by him.

[bluestarone]

60. Well, i grant you your thoughts, BUT

Not for one minute do i see it that way. FAITH is the biggest problem with these IDIOTS. They make all their decisions based on faith that GAWD wants them to support these MONSTERS destroy our country. I have 100% faith that they are ALL CRAZY after witnessing what they are doing to families across our country. SHAME on them all.

[NBachers]

12. Every day I visualize spaceships arriving to capture the interstellar criminal they've been tracking across the universe

[area51]

40. This interstellar criminal?

[Nasruddin]

14. Doesn't want 'im

Too afraid of the competition

[drmeow]

34. They all make me wish

voodoo dolls worked!

[E. Normus]

48. Nobody wants him

There is a special place for him and his like. It is Purgatory. Isolation forever.

[PufPuf23]

3. Wonder what Melania thinks about destruction of the East Wing?

Is there an element of hostility towards Melania as well as First Ladies in general?

What a crappy POTUS. Crapping everything.

Thank you for the before and after demolition images.

[nolabear]

22. Or Hillary

Not to mention Michelle.

[PufPuf23]

26. Why mentioned First Ladies in general.

USA has been blessed with any excellent First Ladies.

Trump pulled the First Ladies rug out from under her feet in the destruction of the East Wing where Melania is the present occupant as First Lady that is conspicuous by her absence.

Not to defend Melania who is the sorriest excuse for a first lady in my lifetime.

[Karch]

44. She is Happy

that now she does not have to "decorate" the East Wing for her dreaded Christmas or show up to her offices.

[pandr32]

47. I love that the AI generated image of His Lardship uses face bronzer unblended.

He does it so much that AI thinks that is his face. Imagine any king with unblended face tint while wearing a crown.

[popsdenver]

54. He and Melanoma

appear to be on the "outs", the first lady's White House office was one of the first parts demolished, along with the Elanor Roosevelt room......

[littlemissmartypants]

4. Thanks so much for sharing this, bigtree.

❤️ RESIST!! ✊️

[twodogsbarking]

5. It belonged to all of us and a temporary resident tore it down. Did he sign a lease? Security Deposit? References?

[D_Master81]

6. ETTD

You just know this is gonna turn into an over budget, time delayed, money pit of a building project too. So sad

[fierywoman]

24. And major kickbacks to the orange yeti.

[calimary]

29. How many of us expect that it won't be finished by the end of Trump's current term?

And btw, let’s never forget: this, now, is the first full year of his SECOND term in the White House.

He’ll have hit the two-term limit at the end of THIS current term.

[Dixiegrrrl]

50. It's supposed to be TWICE the size of the White House???????? n/t

[AdamGG]

7. The East Wing sits directly over an emergency military command bunker

Directly beneath the East Wing of the White House is the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Emergency_Operations_Center

Dump has reportedly collected $300 million from private donors (largely corporate) for the construction of his ballroom. But, no ballroom should cost that much; the price per square foot is orders of magnitude off.

There's a good possibility that the money is being channeled into upgrading Trump's military bunker beneath the ballroom and that it's for the lovely things has has planned for us later on.

[IronLionZion]

23. The fuhrerbunker

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrerbunker

History might be repeating itself

[yellow dahlia]

35. How can the bunker still be intact

after all that heavy equipment wreaking (wrecking) havoc?

[AdamGG]

36. Maybe it isn't now

If the goal is to massively renovate the bunker and give it more hardened fortifications, maybe they're working on it now and the work on the building will be a pretext for the noise and equipment necessary to work on the bunker. Also, it's hardened to survive bombing, so heavy equipment on the ground above may not disturb it.

FDR originally built the East Wing in 1942 to camoflage the bunker he was building below it to withstand possible German bombing in WWII. The East Wing has a long history of disguising the bunker. Trump ran down there in 2020 when he was scared of Black Lives Matter protests outside. Given how incredibly quickly they've put the funds together, drawn up the architectural plans and begun construction, it's a priority item. Dump probably cares more about the bunker than the ballroom.

[yellow dahlia]

64. Good information. Thanks.

[AdamGG]

75. He's a piece of shit and not particularly bright, but

planning a tacky monstrosity to go above the bunker if his goal is to distract from construction on the bunker is kind of an evil genius move. So, someone other than him probably thought of it.

[electric_blue68]

37. It was designed to be protect from bombs

[popsdenver]

56. With today's nuclear weapon's strength

that is a joke...........and probably why they moved NORAD out of Cheyenne Mountain/???????????
Interesting that they are still maintaining NORAD's mountain location, and it can be re-inhabited instantaneously on a moments notice.
(Even though a nearby forest fire drove everyone out a few decades ago due to the poorly designed and operated ventilation system) LOL

[electric_blue68]

61. Oh, for sure. But they moved NORAD out of Cheyenne Mtn?

[popsdenver]

65. Yup, years ago

Cheney/Rumsfeld relocated it down to Colorado Springs.........

Cspgs is also head quarters of the new "space force" but Trump is moving it down to one of the RED states on the Gulf.......which is ridiculous............1500 employees and at a cost of millions and millions......It appears to be payback for whatever the governor of that RED state did for Trump???????????? Ludicrous relocation........ Dubious that any of the current, trained employees, would want to move down to some hot humid, suck hole, Gulf State......... from Colorado........
(Colorado Springs is a mass of Military and government groups, and you can't find a City in the U.S. that is a brighter shade of RED.......)

[electric_blue68]

68. Oh, ok! I stopped in Colorado Springs decades back....

I went from NYC to Soutth Dakota, to Denver, Alberquerque, AZ/Navajo/Hopi Nations.

I took a tour out of CS - which included visiting the Air Force Academy.
In town it was quite impressive to see Pikes Peak looking straight out from a main street.

[popsdenver]

69. The views from the city

are magnificent and breath taking..... They are doing a major remodel of the Academy, but may leave the Iconic Chapel.........and just do massive repairs on it. It has leaked like a sieve since it was built 60? years ago. The AF Academy swimming pool back then, was the most incredible swimming/diving pool in the entire U.S. by far.........

[electric_blue68]

71. I just looked it up, and saw they're renovating the chapel...

It'd be really sad to see such a striking, and beautiful piece of architecture torn down.

Wow, a whole big remodel. Good luck to them!

Sounds like a super duper hi grade type of Olympic swimming/diving pool.

One funny thing somehow I often think Colorado Springs is north of Denver. I've been to both so I know it not true! 😄 Der!

[popsdenver]

72. Easily

at least twice any other olympic pool in the U.S........ it is, (or maybe was) the most incredible pool ever designed and built.......If they tear it out, maybe they will build a new one exactly like it...............and it would still be the biggest/best pool in the nation.....

[electric_blue68]

73. Sounds cool! ....a Denver aside....

My second really big trip across the US '80 before I went to CS, I spent 2 days with my cousin in Denver (going to Denver Uni). He took me to Red Rocks (non event time), to Golden, and then up to Echo Lake - north east of Mt Evans/Blue Sky. I still have a few slides/photos!
Have one of the Continental Divide from Echo Lake. Being a bit of a geography buff - that was thrilling. And sooo beautiful!

Oh, just remembered looking at the photos of the AF Acdmy they mentioned The Pool. I'm going check

ETA. Wow that's an extra long pool with a totally separate diving area, away ftom the swimming lanes. And all the different diving platforms! And a very interesting architectural ceiling design, too.

[popsdenver]

77. Yup

The diving section is 20' deep, with two one meter boards, two three meter boards....a five meter platform and a ten meter platform.
The diving area is separated from the swimming area by a permanent bulkhead that goes down about six feet. That is where the starting blocks are for races......when you finish your race, you just swim under the bulkhead and surface in the diving section. There is another moveable bulkhead in the swimming section. Depending on what kind of meet is taking place, it can go from 25yds, to 25meters, to 50 yds, to 50 meters. At 50 meters, the water depth is still 3.5 feet, with 10 yds more pool. The first 25 meters from the permanent bulkhead is 8 feet deep for water polo competition..There is room where you can go down to a wide underwater window to see the divers as they enter the water, There is a large spectator area, slightly higher, for a great view of Diving or Swimming. The best part is the decks around the entire pool and in the locker rooms, are heated.


I always joked with team mates that if the U.S. Government was gonna spend money.....they should spend it like this!

Like I said, I have never seen or heard of a pool like this in the entire U.S.

[AdamGG]

76. He probably isn't concerned about the White House bunker protecting him from nukes

It would be his command center during a domestic civil war. While he has private contractors on site being paid with private funds, who is to say that they're not doing off the books tasks in the top secret bunker, like installing unmonitored links to the Kremlin or to US right wing militias.

[yellow dahlia]

63. Too bad the East Wing wasn't protected against a destructive toddler.

[popsdenver]

57. He is probably

installing a bigger better one under his Ballroom......including a vault to hold ALL of the Fort Knox Gold........

[yellow dahlia]

62. Of course.

[popsdenver]

66. It was reported

that Trump and some members of his CABAL paid a personal visit/inspection of Fort Knox, early in this administration.....

Weird? Curious? ...................

[yellow dahlia]

67. Scary.

[popsdenver]

70. He is accumulating a ton of bitcoin

along with his two stupid worthless sons............

Some Fringe Lunatics, have speculated that in one of his wet dreams, he would really like to amass the majority of crypto currency, then go to crypto currency, (bitcoin?) as the U.S. Currency, then cash his all in for the treasury/public to use as currency, in exchange for all the gold in Fort Knox...........
Pretty out of this universe thinking! LOL

[Farmer-Rick]

9. The pedo destroyed the east colonnade and

The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden too. Is there anything left of JFK and Jacqueline left at the White House?

Too bad the pedo didn't wander off in front of a bulldozer.

[erronis]

10. That group of old white men remind me of the group in a car dealership when they've found a mark.

"Of course this is the best deal you can find. Look at us. Don't we look trustworthy?"

[Starbeach]

11. Sickening

No right to do this

[dedl67]

15. Trump is consumed by a lust to destroy.

The German term for this psychopathic state is “Zerstoerungslust”, a lust to destroy. It is the desire to destroy, both things and people. Destroying the East Wing is only the latest example. Trump will attempt to destroy everything and everyone that he thinks is somehow standing in his way or not bending to his will. It is a compulsion. Destruction is the point. He must be stopped before he destroys everything.

[blue_jay]

49. He's buildiing his own deathstar to protect himself and his supporters

[popsdenver]

58. Exactly.........

That is why his first move was to infiltrate DC with it's own army, To make sure he and his entire CABAL were protected in case the masses ever got wise and tried to pull a J6 on him in the white house.......ICE, Secret Service, National Guard, Regular Military........all continuing to wander the streets of D.C. And who knows how many of the J6 imprisoned he pardoned have joined in...........

[AverageOldGuy]

16. The Epstein Ballroom

That's what we should call it -- THE EPSTEIN BALLROOM -- use the name everywhere.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. "Total obliteration." NT

[orangecrush]

18. Orange fucker

[milestogo]

21. What an asshole.

He can't die soon enough.

[rurallib]

25. Where will Melanoma plan her Christmas abomination this year

and where will it be displayed?

[AdamGG]

33. The Christmas Spectacular UFC Cage Fights

[buzzycrumbhunger]

28. Question...

In a building this old, was anything done to investigate things like fkg asbestos before the arseholes came in with bulldozers? Isn’t there a protocol for doing crap like this? I mean, it was a threat and suddenly it’s HAPPENING. Is there zero oversight anymore for ANYFUCKINGTHING?

[ChicagoTeamster]

32. Has any of this or the Arch even been run past the Capital Architects or the historical preservation review board?

I bet they didn't consult anybody on this. Just like the Guard deployments and the illegal fishing boat killings, they made this all up on their own, no consulting professionals or following existing guidelines. The idiots following the demented sociopath.

[electric_blue68]

39. Of course, he didn't! He does (? *almost) what he wants!

So far.

*not sure what he's been stopped from doing this term. Hard to keep up!

[electric_blue68]

38. Hideous!

😬😬😬😬😬

[BradBo]

41. Wasn't that were something got thrown out of a window last month?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. It's a self-inflicted wound on tRump that will be open & festering for months and maybe years.

He does not have approval yet to move forward with construction.

[mdbl]

43. They'll end up using it for WWE matches.

[popsdenver]

59. And, of course,

Trump will be in charge of all online betting, and rig it just like the RepubliCONs are doing with the voting......

[KPN]

45. EPSTEIN BALLROOM ...

do not let the crapper in chief distract!

[Frasier Balzov]

51. Makes destruction of the government more emblematic.

More tangible to voters.

This is what Trump has done, and only a Democratic Congress can stop him.

[Vinca]

52. It looks like a terrorist attack, which is essentially what it was.

[myohmy2]

74. trump's...

...doing a yahu...

...fascists love rubble...

...
