Do we no longer need an East Wing for the First Ladies? [View all]

I expect there will be First Ladies in the future, who deserve to have their own East Wing to work from.

It's sad that Melania has no place to go in Washington. Trump tore it down to spite her, is my opinion. Now, there is a big hole in the ground and Trump is ignoring judicial orders to halt construction of his "ball room". A friggin' ballroom!

I keep waiting for Republicans to come to their senses. But I suppose that is very difficult to do when you have no senses?
