I vehemently oppose the construction of an enormous ballroom where the beautiful historic East Wing used to stand. It was demolished without public comment or permitting, after assurances it would not be touched.

The President Donald J Trump Ballroom would be architecturally ruinous to the White House. Worse, it would be a monument not to America's greatness, but to the convicted felon who rules by decree and uses his office for personal profit and retribution against anyone who displeases him.

If this monstrosity is built, I would fully support its demolition when this disgraceful president is out of power.
