Chelsea Clinton doesn’t seem to be thrilled that the East Wing of the White House is being demolished for a new ballroom ― and that’s apparently got Donald Trump Jr. in a snit.
The $250 million ballroom is being financed by private donations, but the National Trust for Historic Preservation says the 90,000-square-foot event space would “overwhelm the White House itself.”
In an op-ed published Thursday in USA Today, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate HIllary Clinton, said that while President Donald Trump “has the right ... to pave over the Rose Garden (and denude it of roses) as well as turn the East Wing into a ballroom,” she noted that “a disregard for history is a defining trait” of his second administration.
She warned: “This is what happens when we take a wrecking ball to our heritage.”
Clinton promoted the article on X with two posts.
