Demolition efforts have commenced on the White House's historic East Wing to pave the way for President Donald Trump's ambitious ballroom project, despite previous assurances that the existing structure would remain untouched.

This development follows the revelation that large machinery is currently dismantling parts of the facade, a section traditionally home to the first lady's offices, a theater, and a high-profile entrance for foreign dignitaries.

Parties at this future venue are anticipated to begin in the East Room, eventually leading guests to what Trump describes as the nation's 'finest' ballroom, strategically designed with a capacity of 999 and boasting panoramic views of the Washington Monument.
