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.

    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?

        They’d have to anyway. There’s no way of knowing if there is or isn’t listening devices or spyware built in. National security would dictate a full tear down I’d imagine.

        Yes. If Democrats get into the WH, they should start on day one. Incorporate the destruction of the Epstein ballroom as part of the inauguration.

        Fuck norms, fuck the Tone Police, and fuck being doormats for the asshole Confederates.
