A new photo showing the partially demolished East Wing of the White House began circulating widely on social media Monday afternoon, as plans move forward for Donald Trump’s new $250 million ballroom.

The Washington Post first reported the news of the demolition, saying that constructions crews were using a backhoe to rip through and demolish a portion of the White House’s East Wing. The publication included a photo with its report, which was quickly shared by social media users, some of whom used the image to criticize the president.

“Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down,” podcaster Bryan Tyler Cohen wrote on X, sharing the photo.

      As long as it annoys the liberals and as long as they think they or their white brethren get to tackle brown people and disappear them, it’s all good, bro.
