Now in America, the sound of bulldozer is echoing even in the White House. US President Donald Trump has installed bulldozers and cranes in the East Wing of the White House on October 20, 2025. Its aim is to build the world’s largest and grandest ballroom in the White House.
According to Trump, this ballroom will be spread over 90,000 square feet and its total cost will be 200-250 million dollars. About 650 people will be able to easily sit in the new ballroom. It is specially designed to accommodate large functions, banquets, meetings or other events. The ballroom will have gold chandeliers, gilded columns, checkered marble floors and large windows. It will be opened towards the southern grounds, so that the old neoclassical style of the White House remains intact.
Trump’s 15 year old dream
Actually, Trump had dreamed of building a grand venue in the White House 15 years ago. His objective was that the President could easily organize big programs for his guests. He repeatedly said that the existing East Room is not sufficient for small programs.
Construction and bulldozing of the East Wing
The East Wing was built in 1902 and was last renovated in 1942. Now it is being demolished with bulldozers. According to CNN report, the roof, entryway and windows of the east wing have been broken. Concrete pieces and debris are scattered here and there. American flagged machines are working continuously.
Construction will be done with private funding
Trump said that this project will be completely run with private funding. Trump and his personal donors are spending money on this. Its objective is to modernize the White House and make it more grand.
