He's not even touching the White House proper, right? Just the East Wing? The wings were added later. The West Wing has been torn down and replaced by another president. Trump is doing that to the East Wing.
Whatever. As long as he isn't spending US tax dollars.
But, I'm guessing the Democrats will either use the ballroom to host state events without having to use tents like we do now (which will be good), or they will use US tax dollars to tear it down and replace it not with a structure identical to the original, but with a structure they like (which will be what you are complaining about, but worse, because US tax dollars will be used).
