several alterations over time, and this is just another one. Also, the main body of the White House itself was built in only the early 1950s (which is true)...MAGAs like to trot that one out a lot.

Nevertheless, a partial demolition and alternation on this scale normally requires authorization outside of the President. That, and the optics of this action are just dreadful.
