QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think of demolishing part of the White House?
Matthew Sanders
The country was surprised earlier this week to see images of heavy equipment tearing down the East Wing of the White House.
President Donald Trump is clearing the 123-year-old section of the presidential mansion to make way for his 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which will dwarf the chief executive’s residence when completed. The cost of the project has gone up from about $250 million to $300 million, which Trump has said is coming from private donations instead of taxpayer money.
The White House released a list of companies it says are paying for the project on Thursday.
