Expert claims Melania Trump’s opinion “iddn’t carry a lot of weight”

Speaking with The Guardian, Katherine AS Sibley, a professor of history at St Joseph’s University, stated that the East Wing was “where first ladies could carry out the important work that they do.” But as it’s now been demolished, it says a lot about the Trump administration’s attitude toward Melania.

“The destruction of the East Wing just shows how little the White House cares about the position of first lady,” Sibley added. “Had Obama proposed such a change, Michelle might have said, ‘Wait a minute. That is my office.’ It’s not surprising that [Melania’s] wish to keep the building maybe didn’t carry a lot of weight.”

Do you think it was the right call to tear down the East Wing of the White House to make room for Trump’s ballroom? Please share your thoughts in the comment section on Facebook!
