President Donald Trump schemed to keep his violent destruction of the White House’s East Wing hidden from the American public, according to author Michael Wolff.

Rather than weigh the consequences of erasing the 123-year-old building’s history, the president’s first concern was reportedly how to keep its potential destruction hidden from the public.

By the time White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump had changed his mind about preserving the East Wing, the building had already been reduced to twisted metal and rubble.

    Even without any of Epstein disclosures trump is insane, old, bitter and tired and should be removed. It almost seems to me that the democrats are complicit in keeping the trump flame alive. What does this tell us? The obvious answer is that kid diddling is non-partisan.

    it’s “been official that this will be called the Trump Ballroom.”

    While it will always be the Epstein Ballroom to me, when the Trump name becomes a humiliating stain on US history, wonder what they’ll rename it?

      The White House invented a loophole out of thin air to avoid going through proper channels.

    Imagine the incredible feeling of raw power the excavator operators must have experienced while destroying the White House though.

    Idiot. There are cameras all over the White House! Of course everyone was going to see your evil scheme.

      Tearing down the White House won’t change a damn thing about government corruption. But it sure is evidence of government corruption.

    I hope, one day, we can turn it into low income housing or a dog shelter… one can dream.
