Architect Reveals Trump’s West Wing Destruction Plan
President Trump is now considering adding another story to the West Wing of the White House as part of his expanding $400 million ballroom project. Chief architect Shalom Baranes revealed plans to build the ballroom as tall as the main mansion and add a second story to the West Wing Colonnade to balance the new renovations to the demolished East Wing. The new ballroom will be two levels and is to feature a large banquet space, along with offices for the First Lady and a movie theater. The plans have already faced public backlash and legal challenges, including a lawsuit over asbestos removal, and the project is likely to remain controversial.
