"but will be soon."
"Ripping apart the White House just like he's ripping apart the Constitution,"
"Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom,"
"Construction has always been a part of the evolution of the White House,"
The White House has begun demolition work to create a new grand ballroom while plans have not yet been submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC). NCPC cannot review demolition and remains closed because of the government shutdown. The White House Historical Association does not review or approve structural changes. Equipment bearing the name Aceco drew online criticism and the company has removed its digital footprint. McCrery Architects and Clark Construction are involved; Clark did not confirm participation in demolition. Democrats criticized the timing amid a shutdown and weak economy, while architectural organizations called for rigorous oversight. White House officials defended the project as part of the building's evolution.
