Controversy Over White House Renovation

Controversy has erupted over President Trump's decision to demolish part of the White House's East Wing to make way for a new ballroom, sparking criticism from figures like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. Trump defended the renovation, initially describing the old setup as problematic. The move has stunned former staff members and invited public scrutiny, while the White House argues that preserving the East Wing was not cost-effective.
