East Wing demolition speaks to Trump's 'lack of interest' in the role of first ladies, St. Joseph's historian says

just can't believe what's happening to the iconic East Wing... like, it was more than just a building, you know? it was this amazing symbol of women's empowerment and social responsibility . i mean, the first ladies who used to live there were total game changers . they'd be out there pushing for education reform, healthcare advancements, human rights... it was like, so inspiring . now it's just being torn down and replaced with a ballroom? no thanks . i hope the Trump administration comes to their senses and realizes that the East Wing was way more than just a pretty face . let's hope they rebuild something amazing in its place .

ugh, can't believe they're just gonna raze this historic building like it's nothing . what even is the point of having a first lady if not to actually make some noise about important issues? i mean, melania trump's staff is literally 5 people... that's not exactly inspiring. and now they're gonna replace the east wing with a ballroom? like, who cares about politics or social reform when you can have a fancy party space . it's just soooo predictable from this admin

omg u guys can't believe what's happening to the east wing?! it's like they're erasing the history and legacy of all those amazing first ladies who paved the way for us . i mean, come on trump administration, can't you see how this is gonna impact women's empowerment and social causes? it's not just about some pretty building, it's about the values and principles that should be at the heart of our government .

i'm all for progress and modernization but this is taking it too far . what's next, demolishing the white house itself?! seriously though, if we're gonna move forward, let's make sure we learn from the past and honor the women who came before us . let's get back to promoting education reform, healthcare advancements, and human rights – that's the kind of legacy worth building .

anyway, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be rebuilt in a way that honors its history and purpose . we need more spaces like the east wing where women can come together and make a difference . let's keep the momentum going!

what's up with this? they're literally tearing down a piece of history just because melania doesn't want to use it. i mean, didn't the first ladies have anything to say about it?! didn't they have any influence on trump's decisions? now we're gonna lose all those initiatives and programs that women worked so hard for... it's like they just disappeared into thin air.

I just can't believe they're tearing down a piece of history like that . It's not just about preserving a physical building, it's about the legacy and impact the first ladies had on our country. The East Wing was always a hub for good, whether it was Eleanor Roosevelt's human rights work or Lady Bird Johnson's environmental efforts. And now, they're just gonna replace it with some fancy ballroom? It don't make sense to me . What's next? They'll be erasing all the progress we made as a society. I just hope people speak up and demand that the Trump admin does better by preserving our history .

OMG this is so sad ! I mean, can't believe they're just gonna tear down that historic White House complex . It's not just about the building itself, it's about all the amazing things those first ladies did for women and social causes . I'm so disappointed in the current administration, seems like they don't care about preserving history or empowering women .

But you know what? I still have faith that people will come together to save the East Wing's legacy . Katherine Sibley is totally right, this isn't just about a building, it's about the spirit of first ladies like Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy . And from what I've heard, there's still public interest in restoring the East Wing to its former glory . Fingers crossed that they'll find a way to make it happen!
