The firing of fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts comes as Trump plans to build a triumphal arch along the Potomac River, and a new ballroom on the White House grounds.

Stewart McLaurin knew it was coming.An entire wing of the White House, a building he calls “the most special, important building on the planet,” was going to be replaced to make way for a ballroom that President Donald Trump wants to add to the building.

First lady Melania Trump reportedly didn’t support her husband’s decision to order demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make room for his glitzy $300 million ballroom.
