I thought that statement was bizarre, even for him. Nearly everything that involves money is reversible. You just throw money at it. That's the reason that injunctions are rare - they are reserved for the new things that paying money after the fact can't fix.

But tearing down the east wing can't be undone.

That's what I think he was referring to.

Yes, the building could be rebuilt, but there's a magic in walking those old halls where presidents, first ladies, world leaders, school children - and even I have walked. That magic can't be restored even if he is forced to put up a copy of the wing., instead of a ballroom.

ETA: This seems appropriate to add -
