Donald Trump is facing legal action over the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, part of a $300 million plan to build a new ballroom on the executive grounds.
A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on October 23 seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.
On one hand, yes, many Americans’ morals are backwards and ideally humans being killed, brutalized and disappeared by this administration and it’s agents would get more attention than an old building.
But on the other hand, that’s unfortunately not where we’re at. But where we are at is many people who would otherwise support or at least feel apathetic to what this administration is doing are appalled by the destruction of a national icon and I’ll welcome any step towards eroding the support this administration has from a significant group of Americans.
