Trump tore this down. This was the hallway to a door on the East Wing. He needs to be stopped now. [View all]

The White House is not Trump’s property it is owned by the American people. He is also
ruining the colonnade walkway from the residential quarters to the West Wing with gold crap
and some kind of “Hall of Fame” garbage too.

The herring bone pattern on those bricks was exquisite.

Make the Republicans own this too. The businesses who are paying for the ballroom have
something like 380 billion in contracts with the federal government they also own the
destruction of America’s treasures to.
