Melania Trump Allegedly Voiced Concerns About Controversial Demolition of East Wing

Melania Trump is apparently not so supportive of her husband's move to tear down the East Wing of the White House.

In a new report by The Wall Street Journal about how Donald Trump was able to have the historical building razed so fast, Melania "privately raised concerns" about the project, telling her associates that "it wasn't her project."

Notably, the East Wing has historically been used by the first lady and her team.

It was announced that the demolition of the longstanding building had been officially completed on Friday, October 24.

The divisive president showed off plans to build a $300 million ballroom in its place just two days prior on Wednesday, October 22. With himself and private donors reportedly paying for the ballroom, it's expected to accommodate up to 900 people.

Donald's decision to tear it down and replace the space with an unnecessary and opulent ballroom has been met with abundant criticism.

Taking questions about the project from the Oval Office last Wednesday, October 22, Trump said, "In order to do it properly, we had to take down the existing structure."

He also declared that there had been a "tremendous amount of study with some of the best architects in the world" before the demolition. These architects allegedly determined that "knocking it down" was unavoidable.

A White House official told NBC News earlier this month that "all the historical components of the East Wing, such as elements from [Rosalynn] Carter’s original Office of the First Lady, have been preserved and stored under the supervision of the White House Executive Residence and the National Park Service with support from the White House Historical Association."

They added, "Plans are in place for future use."

But the leveling of the 123-year-old building also meant the demolition of former first lady Jackie Kennedy's garden.

Jackie's successor, former first lady Ladybird Johnson, named the garden after her in 1965.

During Bill Clinton's term in the 1990s, then-first lady Hillary Clinton displayed contemporary sculptures in the garden.

News of Melania's disapproval of the White House renovations come as the two-time president shared that "he would love" to run again in 2028.

Of a third term, he told reporters on Monday, October 27, "Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me. All I can tell you is that we have a great, a great group of people."
