Why is Trump demolishing the White House's East Wing? Because he wants to | Arwa Mahdawi

Icon the fact that they're calling it "destruction" is kinda rich coming from the administration that's always whining about how hard it is for them to get things done. I mean, who needs public input or permits when you've got a blank check and a bulldozer? It's not like they were trying to preserve an important piece of history, but rather just making way for some ego-driven vanity project.

Can you believe this guy just tore down an old building without asking anyone's permission? Like, what's next? Building a wall around the White House and making us all pay for it ! And $300 million for a ballroom? That's like me saying I'm going to spend all my savings on a new Xbox and then expecting everyone else to chip in . Priorities, man... priorities!

Ugh, can't believe what's happening to our country ! I mean, demolishing the East Wing of the White House without even consulting the public? That's like, so not okay . It's like Trump is trying to erase American history and replace it with his own ego-driven fantasies . And what's up with this $300 million ballroom project that supposedly benefits nobody but himself?

I'm seriously worried about the state of our democracy right now . If we let Trump get away with this, what's next? Will he start rewriting history books and replacing them with his own fake news? It's like, can't we just stand up to him and demand better from our leaders?

And the lack of transparency is literally mind-boggling . Who even knows who was involved in this demolition, or what they were thinking when they made these decisions? It's all so shady and suspicious .

As for those corporations lining up to donate to this project, I'm like, what are they thinking?! Are they really that desperate to curry favor with Trump? Or are they just too scared to speak out against his antics?

Anyway, I'm keeping a close eye on this situation and will be calling out any more questionable moves from the Trump administration . Stay woke, America! #NotMyPresident #SaveTheEastWing #AccountabilityMatters

what's goin on with trump man, just destroyin stuff left and right... i mean, that east wing was historic, you can't just bulldoze it like that, no transparency, no public input... it's like he thinks he's above the law, which is super concerning. and now people are talkin about him runnin for third term? that's a whole different level of power, we gotta keep an eye on this dude

I'm low-key shook by what just happened at the White House... demolishing the East Wing? That's like, so not cool, dude. It's like they're trying to erase American history or something . I mean, who needs a fancy ballroom when you've got a historic building that's been around for half a century? The whole thing just reeks of entitlement and a complete disregard for the public good .

And can we talk about how transparent this was? Like, zero input from historians or preservationists? It's like they just wanted to get it done without anyone noticing . I'm all for progress and change, but not when it comes at the expense of our cultural heritage.

I guess what really gets my goat is that Trump seems to think he can do whatever he wants and get away with it . Newsflash, dude: we're watching you! We need to hold people in power accountable for their actions and make sure they don't just disregard norms and laws like they're a game of cosmic hopscotch .

I'm also super worried about the implications of this demolition... is Trump planning on running for another term? That's like, a whole can of worms that needs to be opened . We need to keep an eye on this one and make sure we're not letting our democracy get hijacked by some self-serving ego .

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is... we gotta speak up, guys! We can't just sit back and let Trump erase our history without a fight . It's time for us to take a stand and demand better from our leaders .

I think it's kinda cool that they're gonna use the money from that demolition to build a ballroom ... I mean, who doesn't love a good party? But seriously though, like, what if they actually do something amazing with it instead of just making it a personal playground for Trump? Maybe they could turn it into some kinda museum or education center... Idk, maybe that's just being too optimistic . On the other hand, I'm also super annoyed that there was no public input or anything . Like, how can we trust them to make decisions for our country when they're not even listening to us? And isn't it weird that the whole thing was funded by Trump himself? It sounds kinda sketchy...
