They're Finished With The Actual Structure Of The White House Ballroom, And You Have GOT To See How Gigantic This Thing Is

Posted on Nov 10, 2026 UTC

I'm sure you're well aware by now that President Donald Trump has completely demolished the East Wing of the White House in order to build a monstrously gigantic ballroom.

The president has said the ballroom is designed to host large state dinners, but is also needed for national security (seen here signing the last steel beam used in construction on the day after the midterms).

He also wrote "Love!" on the beam for some reason.

Perhaps because he loves construction.

Anyway.

Before we take a look at the current progress, as a reminder, here's what the East Wing used to look like (very demure, very mindful):

And here's what it looks like now (Home Depot's 12-foot skeleton personified):

The size comparison here is preeeeeeetty wild.

If you didn't have object permanence, you might even think the White House had disappeared from this angle.

Just an absolute, hulking box.

Unsurprisingly, folks are not loving the look. "We’re gonna have to tear that ugly thing down," one person said.

"It is truly a monstrosity. A blight on the White House grounds," said another.

"The White House used to have aura man, now it looks like a shitty strip mall with a Sears attached to it."

"It swallows the White House whole."

And finally, this person didn't mince words. "Can't wait until the Democrat president in 2028 bulldozes that piece of shit down."

Thoughts??? Let us know in the comments.
