The East Wing housed the first lady's office and staff, in addition to serving as the backdrop for festive decorations and events during the holiday season.

"You know what? She is very smart. In about one day she... if you would ask her now, she says it's great," Trump said in an interview.
Prior to tearing down the East Wing, Trump said it was a "poor, sad sight."
"First of all, the East Wing was a beautiful little tiny structure, built many years ago, that was renovated and expanded and deexpanded and columns ripped out," he shared.

Donald Trump said they are 'building one of the greatest' ballrooms in the world.
While he admitted he could have built around the East Wing, he ultimately decided to tear it down.
"I could have built the ballroom around it, but it would have not have been–we are building one of the greatest (ballrooms) in the world," he added.
Trump's decision to raze the East Wing was met with flak on both sides of the political arena.
The White House stood behind Trump, though, and released a statement slamming the "pearl clutching" from critics upset the historic site had been destroyed.
"In the latest instance of manufactured outrage, unhinged leftists and their Fake News allies are clutching their pearls over President Donald J. Trump's visionary addition of a grand, privately funded ballroom to the White House – a bold, necessary addition that echoes the storied history of improvements and additions from commanders-in-chief to keep the executive residence as a beacon of American excellence," the official statement read.
