About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial demolition of the East Wing of the White House and its implications.

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: The process of tearing down the East Wing,” the story continues, “was expected to be completed as soon as this weekend, two senior administration officials said, as Mr. Trump moved rapidly to carry out a passion project that he said was necessary to host state dinners and other events. But,” the story then says, “the previously unannounced decision to demolish the East Wing was at odds with Mr. Trump's previous statements about the project.” What the Times means here is that the president just set about tearing down a huge chunk of the White House all on his own with no public consultation after having explicitly said that he was not going to do that, which is a self-evidently shocking scandal as long as you are not part of the New York Times' political coverage operation.
