Donald Trump accidentally revealed more than intended during a live appearance on The Ingraham Angle, confirming that Melania Trump was not happy about the East Wing demolition. While defending his controversial $300 million White House ballroom project, Trump slipped, admitting Melania "loved her little office" before quickly changing tone, calling the old wing "common brick" with "tiny windows." According to The Seattle Times, Melania privately opposed the teardown, calling it "not her project" and confiding her discomfort to aides. Insiders say she shared a deep emotional bond with the East Wing, where she once led her social initiatives and hosted events. The space, long a sanctuary for First Ladies, has now been replaced by Trump's grand ballroom, a move critics say symbolizes his dominance over her legacy. Reports also suggest Melania quietly pleaded with him to spare the building, but her request went unheard. Construction is already underway to replace the 1902 East Wing with a massive 90,000-square-foot ballroom.
