Some prominent Democrats are sharing their frustration over President Donald Trump's ongoing project to construct a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House.
"It's not his house," former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote on the social media platform X. "It's your house. And he's destroying it."
It was a sentiment echoed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who accused President Trump of "literally destroying the White House."
Bulldozers could be seen Monday demolishing part of the East Wing of the White House to prepare for construction of the president's proposed $200 million ballroom — despite lacking approval from a federal agency that typically oversees similar projects. According to the Trump administration, the project is privately funded and will not require taxpayer dollars.
