The Issue

In 2025, Donald Trump, the most unpopular president in history, disappeared our East Wing.
He demanded a ballroom that would dwarf the White House, dedicated to himself, to replace it.

This is Trump’s Ballroom monument. He ties his entire legacy to this structure.

Trump gave no warning before bulldozing a large section of our White House, when pressed about any unlawful demolition, he lied about his plans - "I won't touch the building." "It will be paid fully with private donations." These lies, even if true, would still not make the demolition lawful.

He did not ask, nor even contact his own congress for permission before bulldozing the large, historical federal property. He did it simply because he wanted to. Like a demented casino con-man without fear of the laws that govern the land.

No president owns the White House. It is a federal building, owned ultimately by the American people. It serves as the executive mansion, for the president to reside while president. It is effectively a temporary residence, as decreed and bolstered by well established federal law. 

To erase any of it without congressional approval, is wholly unconstitutional. 
To then shuffle taxpayer funds, (appropriated for the United States Secret Service) to pay for it, (along with unknown donors) is also, wholly unconstitutional. 
It can only stand as an illegitimate structure on our White House grounds for these reasons.

Trump would later amend his previous lies, due to unpopularity, stating the unlawful ballroom was now a military structure, needed for national security. He began a campaign speaking of a fully militarized rooftop, offering much larger plans (which are now being built) for a ballroom that will stand taller than the main 230-year-old building itself, with a much larger footprint, and will cover most of the east facade, directly covering windows every U.S. President since John Adams looked out of.

SCOTUS decided on the “continuation” of the Ballroom monument. (a narrow 5-4 decision with Chief Justice Roberts in dissent, offering- "It is likely unlawful." "Congress has plenary constitutional authority over D.C. and federal property.")

It does not reconcile the original crime of demolishing the East Wing of the White House.
The grandest of unlawful acts on our capital has not been answered for.

Democratic "we can pick out the drapes" leadership have fallen silent, for nearly a year, on Trump’s Ballroom monument, and the unlawfully demolished East Wing.

It's apparent. 

We the People must now rally, petition, and protest to stop the construction of Trump’s illegitimate Ballroom monument, and demand the White House be restored.

Trump’s unlawful Ballroom monument cannot be justified with a plaque, rebrand, christening, or with an expensive ad campaign. It is unconstitutional and wholly illegitimate, and will forever stand as a tyrant’s stain on our democratic Republic.

The petition is spoken clearly in many households across America. And should be clear here.

Stop the illegitimate construction of Trump’s Ballroom monument.
Make Trump pay for the restoration of the unlawfully demolished East Wing. 

We call on the Democratic Congress to act now, diligently. To introduce legislation that reasserts their constitutional authority, stopping this unlawful construction of Trump’s Ballroom monument, and demand Trump pay for the restoration of the unlawfully demolished East Wing.

"Remember the Alamo.
 Remember the East Wing.
 That tingling arm is not sleeping.
 It’s gone." - P.C.E
