WASHINGTON — President Trump’s team is trolling Democrats for expressing outrage over his demolition of the East Wing — with scandalous additions to an official timeline of major events on the White House website.
The timeline, which mostly chronicles major construction projects, now includes entries referencing “President Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky,” exposed in 1998, and controversial events hosted while Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden were in office.
“Cocaine Discovered” is now listed as a major event from 2023, along with a photo of former first son Hunter Biden lounging in a bathtub with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
“The Biden/Harris administration hosts transexuals at the White House in 2023,” another entry reads, along with a photo of transgender model Rose Montoya flashing her breasts on the South Lawn after posing for a selfie with Biden during a Pride celebration — for which she was banned by the Democratic administration
A new entry for 2012 reads: “Obama hosts members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas.”
The official timeline begins with the design phase of the late 1700s and the British burning the mansion in 1814, and also notes the Truman administration’s total gutting of the White House residence and the additions of the West Wing, Rose Garden and now-demolished East wing in the last century.
“Some easter eggs on the White House site for the wannabe historians on social media. Enjoy :)” tweeted White House deputy communications director Kaelan Dorr, a creative force involved in many official meme and social media initiatives.
Trump completed the surprise demolition of the East Wing this week, with the view from the White House balcony now showing piles of rubble being trucked away.
The East Wing contained the offices of the first lady, the calligraphy office, a family movie theater and a grand hallway that welcomed guests to special events. It was initially constructed in 1902 and expanded to include additional office space in 1942.
Trump, 79, told reporters Thursday that he already has raised $350 million in private donations for the ballroom project, which he says will now cost about $300 million, up from a prior estimate of $250 million.
Under federal law, the White House, Capitol building and Supreme Court building are exempt from review processes meant to preserve historically and culturally significant buildings that may be affected by government projects — allowing for this week’s rapid demolition of the East Wing.
The Trump administration initially announced the ballroom project on July 31 and expect construction to be completed “long before” the president departs office in January 2029.
