Anger at White House renovation lacks ‘historical context’: Zito and Concha

Published



Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito and Joe Concha both brushed off online criticism that President Donald Trump is receiving for his White House renovations on Wednesday, with both arguing this is nothing new for the historic building.

Trump’s renovation of the White House’s East Wing includes building a large ballroom, and photos of the construction are being shared on social media. Several prominent politicians, including former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), are not enthused and said on X that the president is “destroying” the White House.
