President Trump says the East Wing that was demolished to make way for a new ballroom “looked like hell,” describing the area of the White House before it was torn down as a “poor, sad sight.” “The East Wing was a beautiful, little, tiny structure that was built many years ago that was renovated and expanded and disbanded and columns ripped out — and it had nothing to do with the original building,” Trump said during a Monday interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham. “It was a poor, sad sight, and I could have built the ballroom around it, but it would not have been — we’re building one of the greatest ballrooms in the world,” Trump said.
