Donald Trump wants to leave behind a legacy, but his ambitions went far beyond the White House, literally. A new photograph has Americans wondering whether the president is building an entertainment venue or an entirely new White House to compete with. The latest images of Trump’s massive construction project have sparked disbelief over one jaw-dropping detail. Trump’s unfinished addition appears to dwarf the historic presidential mansion, leaving critics questioning whether the People’s House is being overshadowed by one man’s expensive ambitions. The photograph, captured from Marine One and shared by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, circulated widely on Nov. 11. It shows the enormous steel framework rising where the historic East Wing once stood. Rep. James E. Clyburn was among those stunned by the sight.
