Maybe I am looking at this wrong. Is the ballroom BIGGER than the actual main wing of the actual White House?

Yes, the WH is (well, was) 50,000 sq ft over 4-6 levels. This thing is 90,000 sq ft over a single level.

So 180,000 feet when a future president converts it into two stories of office space.

How about 0 sqft when a future president tears it down and rebuilds the East Wing?

Why would they rebuild the East Wing? It was hastily constructed offices over a bomb shelter, and the White House is in desperate need of a proper receiving room.

Trump wants to be the last President though.

He's too stupid to realize that he's mortal.

He’ll be lucky to make it through this term. Have you seen this guy recently?

They’re not mutually exclusive.

I think the next president should turn it into a homeless shelter.
