The Real Reason Behind Trump’s $400M White House Expansion

This is one of the most iconic buildings in American history and right now… it’s being transformed in a way we’ve never seen before. Since returning to power as President of the United States, Donald Trump has launched a massive construction project… inside his own workplace — the White House. An extraordinary metamorphosis worth more than $400 million is now underway. The primary objective: to build an huge reception hall in place of the building’s East Wing. A controversial project that highlights just how central this seat of power truly is. Today, we’re heading to Washington D.C. to step inside one of the most famous addresses on Earth… and explore what its future might look like.
