"First of all, the East Wing was a beautiful little, tiny structure that was built many years ago, that was renovated and expanded and despanded and columns ripped out. It had nothing to do with the original building. It was a poor, sad sight, and I could've built the ballroom around it, but it would not have been we're building one of the greatest ballrooms in the world. By the way, zero money spent by the government. Zero."
"She loved her little, tiny office, but you know what? She's very smart. In about one day, she if you would ask her now, she says it's great, replied Trump. The East Wing sounds good, right, It sounds good. But the East Wing, that building was renovated 20 times, including adding a floor to the top, which was terrible. It was out of common brick, little tiny windows, it looked like hell."
The East Wing had undergone many renovations and additions that removed original elements and left it disconnected from the main building. The decision was made to remove the structure rather than incorporate it into a new, much larger ballroom. The planned ballroom is described as world-class and will reportedly involve no government spending. Melania initially favored her small office but is said to have changed her view and now approves the project. The East Wing was characterized as built of common brick with small windows and judged to have an overall poor appearance.
