NEED TO KNOW
- President Donald Trump's administration is making light of its East Wing demolition
- Trump promised not to touch the White House's East Wing before it was torn down to make space for a $300 million ballroom
- In response to criticism of the decision, the White House has added a new section to its website that takes aim at former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
President Donald Trump and his administration have rolled out a new "major events timeline" on the White House's website amid criticism over his decision to demolish the building's historic East Wing.
On Thursday, Oct. 23, social media posts to the White House's Instagram and X accounts sarcastically referenced the outrage that many Americans have expressed over the so-called "improvements" to the White House that include a $300 million ballroom funded by Trump and undisclosed private donors.
"WH.GOV/Renovations," read the posts' caption, along with a hand and nail polish emoji.

Both posts contained video of a "Major Events Timeline" of White House history that is currently displayed on the official White House website.
The timeline begins with "Design Plans Commence," referencing President George Washington's selection of the site for the White House in 1791.
It lists other historic construction at the White House, including the addition of the West Wing in 1902 during President Theodore Roosevelt's administration, and the construction of the Oval Office in 1909, when William Howard Taft was president.

Following the addition of the briefing room in 1990, the timeline contains "Bill Clinton Scandal" for the year 1998.
"President Bill Clinton's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to White House perjury investigations," the description, which also included a photo of Clinton and Lewinsky, read. "The Oval Office trysts fueled impeachment for obstruction."
A "Muslim Brotherhood Visit" is listed for the year 2012, with a description reading, "[President Barack] Obama hosts members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas.

Meanwhile, the year 2023 reads "Cocaine Discovered" with a photo of President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, slouched shirtless in a bathtub with a cigarette in his mouth. "During Biden's administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby," the entry states.

This week, the White House finally admitted that it planned to demolish the East Wing, a place reserved for the office of the first lady since 1977, after Trump said he would not make any major changes to it.
"It'll be views of the Washington Monument. It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it," the president said, per The New York Times . "And pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of."
Former first lady Hillary Clinton and Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy and former President John F. Kennedy, are among those who have condemned the renovations.
