Melania Trump is packing up her things — sort of. Donald Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Thursday, July 31, that the White House's East Wing will be home to a new ballroom, which she called a "much-needed and exquisite addition.

President Donald Trump has long complained about the accommodations at the White House, so he’s getting his wish with a major addition. But what people aren’t talking about enough is that the construction completely displaces First Lady Melania Trump and her staff for a significant amount of time.

After bulldozing the White House Rose Garden and gold leafing the Oval Office, President Donald Trump plans to give the East Wing of the White House a full Mar-a-Lago-style makeover. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced construction on a new White House ballroom will begin in September and will wrap up before the end of Trump’s term.
