Former First Lady Reacts to Donald Trump’s Demolition of White House’s East Wing Facade

Americans are in disbelief as bulldozers tear into the East Wing of the White House — all to make room for a new ballroom.

Construction crews began demolishing part of the historic structure this week, sparking outrage across the country.

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton condemned the move, calling it “a disregard for the public’s home.” Her viral post reminded Americans that “the White House belongs to the people, not one man’s ego.”

President Donald Trump, however, praised the project on Truth Social, describing it as his “big, beautiful ballroom” that would “serve generations to come.” He claimed the $250 million expansion is being privately funded and represents a step toward modernization.

Yet photos from the scene tell a different story — showing heavy equipment smashing through the East Wing’s iconic exterior as the sounds of demolition echoed through Washington, D.C.

For many watching, it felt like witnessing a piece of history being erased before their eyes.

And as the dust begins to settle, one question remains: should America’s most cherished home be transformed — or preserved?
