The president plotted to keep the public in the dark about his wrecking ball hit on the “people’s house,” according to Michael Wolff.

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.
