The ambitious project of President Donald Trump to transform the White House into an opulent space has sparked controversy, especially among the First Lady, Melania Trump, who reportedly expressed serious concerns about the demolition of the East Wing, his traditional office. The building, with a history of over 120 years, was quickly destroyed, and Trump plans to build an extravagant ballroom, estimated at 300 million dollars, funded by private donations and his own funds.
Melania stated that she has no involvement in the project and wishes to distance herself from this decision. Although the president dismisses the criticisms and rumors that the new building could bear his name, he continues to advance the plans, removing bureaucratic obstacles. This idea is not new, as Trump has had it in mind since 2010, but now, with his return to power, he has decided to implement it.
