Trump Transfers White House East Wing Debris to Washington Golf Course Renovation

President Donald Trump has demolished the East Wing of the White House to build a $300 million ballroom, a project he announced would be privately funded without cost to taxpayers. Debris and dirt from the demolition have been transported to East Potomac Park's public golf course in Washington, D.C., known as the East Potomac Golf Links, where they are being used to create new terrain and landscaping features. Trump has shown interest in refurbishing and rebranding this golf course as the "Washington National Golf Course," adopting a logo similar to those of his private clubs. The golf course is operated under a lease agreement with the National Park Service and remains open to the public. The demolition and material relocation have drawn criticism, with some observers noting the unusual nature of a sitting president repurposing White House demolition debris for a golf course renovation. Despite concerns from preservationists about the East Wing demolition, the project continues amid public debate.
