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.
Working people have been suffering for a decades and wealth inequality keeps skyrocketing. Homelessness is skyrocketing. Healthcare is a scam. Politicians have been gaslighting us about this for years while insider trading and taking shady money from lobbyists. Just because line going up doesn’t mean shit to the overwhelming majority of us. The fact is it’s just a reflection of the blood money being squeezed out of our families future so that every last resource gets funneled up to the insatiable shareholders.
I agree that people should have voted against this but we really need accountable representatives. I don’t think we’re going to get that until the pitchforks come out.
