My best guess as to why this makes me so mad is the symbolism of it. We, the American people, own that house. Without any say by us, he tore down history for purely personal reasons.
It's so clear he has zero respect for anything but himself.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.
The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.

Not great financial news for D.C.: The CFO's quarterly revenue estimate shows that for FY26, which starts in October, D.C. is expected to take in $325 million less than it expected back in December. And that repeats in the following years. A big cause: federal layoffs.
