Which of these are among the most powerful and recognized symbols of our national prestige? Which of these represent something whose history transcends political ideology?
It's fair to have arguments on whether or not these statuary should remain in place, but to compare them to the White House is just silly.
Why all of the crying, other than TDS? Trump is the president and elections have consequences, as elaborated by the leftists hero, Obama.

To be upset about any renovations anywhere to the White House is silly.

Also, seems like there was not much made about heavy equipment tearing up the front / north portico area just 3 years ago under Biden.

FACT: For more than a century, U.S. Presidents have been renovating, expanding, and modernizing the White House to meet the needs of the present day.
In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing replacing expansive greenhouses constructed during the Jefferson Administration and establishing the modern day executive office wing with a "classically leaning design" along with a colonial garden and East Terrace, which eventually became the East Wing.
In 1909, President William Howard Taft remodeled and expanded the West Wing, which included construction of the first Oval Office.
In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson demolished the colonial garden, modernizing it with a rose garden.
In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge oversaw the renovation of the upper floors and attic of the White House.
In 1929, President Herbert Hoover remodeled the West Wing, including reconstruction work in the basement level and remodeling the first floor; after a fire on Christmas Eve, the West Wing was repaired and reopened in 1930.
In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt overhauled the West Wing, adding a second floor, a larger basement, and a swimming pool, and relocating the Oval Office to its current location; in 1942, President Roosevelt constructed the East Wing.
In 1948, President Harry Truman undertook a "total reconstruction" of the White House's interior, expanding its foundation and footprint preserving only its exterior walls.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy constructed the modern Rose Garden.
In 1970, President Nixon converted the swimming pool into the press briefing room; in 1973, he added a bowling alley in the basement.
In 1975, President Gerald Ford installed an outdoor swimming pool on the South Grounds, financed entirely by private donations.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton undertook a restoration and refurbishment of the Executive Mansion.
In 2009, President Barack Obama resurfaced the south-grounds tennis court into a basketball court and added the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn.
In 2020, President Trump and the First Lady completed a new White House tennis pavilion, refurbishing the White House Tennis Court and Grandchildren's Garden, as well as constructing a new building.
Now, in 2025, President Trump is carrying forward that legacy, breaking ground on a grand ballroom a transformative addition that will significantly increase the White House's capacity to host major functions honoring world leaders, foreign nations, and other dignitaries.

Below from the previous page. It doesn't look like "the fire the exterior of which survived the fire and remained standing"...
I'll eat some crow here and admit I got the 1930 reconstruction mixed up with a later expansion. I forgot that was when the second story got added. Your photo is not from the 1930 reconstruction. What can I say - it's a lot of activity to try to keep track of and those projects were very close together.
I'll take the L on that point.
No need to take an L, there has been a lot of reno / changes. Its pretty apparent looking at the East Wing condition as they are demo-ing that the addition likely had some pretty significant "modernization" issues.
Same can be said about the West Wing as well. BTW, here is another pic of the 1934 FDR rebuild of the West Wing.

This was a really cool project. After all the paint was removed, they scanned the entire surface of the White House exterior to map every crack, divot, imperfection, repair etc. The paint removal also exposed burn marks from the 1812 burning and several areas of stone on the ground floor were left unpainted so the burn marks would remain visible as a testament to that part of its history.

Karoline just confirmed what I heard yesterday on Fox... the total demolition of the East Wing was done at the recommendation of the architects / construction managers in order to bring the building up to modern structural standards, etc.
About 1/3 of the WH briefing questions were on the East Wing, including MSM dolts saying "does this mean Trump can just tear down anything he wants?". Libs, so dumb they actually impress with their dip****tery and faux rage.
To be fair, Trump didn't really help by saying he can do whatever he wants to the WH.
He basically can.

The dems still got it. They throw **** at the wall, any old **** will do, and Republicans jump up and set the record straight rather than ignoring them or pointing at the dems and laughing.
It's like playing poker with someone who keeps coming up with a pair of deuces and continues to throw down thinking he's going to win the hand.
It's pretty laughable, actually.
Yeah while the commentators are gushing:
Commentator 1: DEUCES?! That's not a hand, that's a coup d'tat!
Commentator 2: The villain's kings just filed for bankruptcy! These ducks are nuclear!
Commentator 1: He didn't play pokerhe rewrote physics!

Big Ballz Room & Dance Clurb?
You've got a sitting Democrat US Congressman talking about publishing an ICE tracker which could endanger the lives of law enforcement and the press asks a ton of questions about a freakin' renovation to the WH.
Our media is completely unserious and deserves every insult Trump throws at them.

Can you tell me where the East Wing is in these pictures?
I think the libs just misunderstood. Trump said it's a Big Ballroom. They thought he said Big Balls room, more Doge stuff.
🚨 JUST IN: The list of private donors for President Trump's White House ballroom has been RELEASED.

Major progress is being made with demolition at the East Wing.
The donor list includes Amazon, Coinbase, Comcast, Hard Rock, Google, Microsoft, The Lutnick Family and others, as… pic.twitter.com/HEUZHuIVSb
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just destroyed a reporter throwing a fit over President Trump’s new ballroom:

REPORTER: “So can you help us understand can the President tear down anything he wants without oversight?”
*pulls out receipts*

She should have said "yes, according to legal precedent the president can renovate without oversight, just as other presidents have".
— Quark Burger (@quarkburger) October 23, 2025
Why couldn't she just add the word "yes"?

She should have said yes.
If the president wants, he can literally demolish the entire White House if he wanted to and it would be completely legal.

The evidence she laid out should have made the answer perfectly clear, even for a dimwitted White House correspondent.

Bill Clinton Scandal, 1998. Trump has a wonderful media team who pulls no punches.
This is funny but is actually pretty important too. You must distribute information that shows the democrats to be immoral disgusting whining babies that abuse the media to hide all of their faults.

Do those pictures look like "arguments" taking place?
Actually pretty impressive the progress they made in demoing, removing material and clearing, prepping site.
Also, what's the status of the PEOC? Or is that now… obsolete?
Will be interesting to see if they install cover particularly why they are doing the site work and foundation.
