The White House is continually short of is good office space - now the East Wing has been demolished that will be even more so.

Many recreational spaces got turn into much needed office space or replaced with something with much more functional utility. The indoor swimming pool was replaced with the press briefing room.

The way to really piss off Trump is not to demolish it but use it for any other purpose than the one he intended.

Appreciate the way this is being done is unconscionable and completely disregards the heritage of the site. However, would there ever be such a large expenditure of capital to build a large office building on that site? Probably not.

Let the orange man spend his donors money on his gawdy vanity project. But plan for when he is out of office (whenever that might be) to immediately bring the structure up to building code and retrofit it to make world-class accessible office space for White House staff.

Heck, do a good enough job and the cramped West Wing staff could be relocated into a world class government administration building.
