White House Website Attacks Trump’s Political Opponents In Attempt To Justify East Wing Destruction

The White House website is a tool for propaganda under this Trump regime

By André Costa | October 24 2025

The White House’s official website, a government-managed archive meant to document history, not manipulate it, has been quietly transformed into a political weapon. This is clearly evident by the presence of a banner on the top of the page, declaring that the US government shutdown is the cause of the Democrat party, despite being a shutdown that Donald Trump wanted, oversaw and enacted.

Recent updates to the “About the White House” section include partisan attacks on Trump’s past opponents, injected directly into a page long reserved for architectural history. The additions appear as the regime completed the demolition of the East Wing to build a lavish new ballroom — a personal project Trump has described as his “legacy addition,” and internet users have christened “the Epstein Ballroom.”

The new entries, disguised among legitimate construction milestones, list milestones like “Bill Clinton Scandal,” “Muslim Brotherhood Visit,” and “Cocaine Discovered,” all placed alongside authentic restoration events such as the Truman Reconstruction and the addition of the briefing room. Each insertion reframes past Democratic administrations through a lens of scandal and failure, suggesting a deliberate attempt to justify the physical destruction of part of the White House as symbolic cleansing.

The misuse of the White House website for Trump’s own poltical means is a clear breach of the Hatch Act, which prohibits the use of government resources for partisan political activity. Federal websites are public property, funded by taxpayers and maintained by civil servants, not campaign operatives. By turning an official .gov page into a vehicle for political messaging, the Trump administration has crossed one of the clearest ethical and legal lines in public service.

Digital archives from the National Archives and the Wayback Machine confirm that until recently, the same page contained only factual historical notes. Its transformation coincides directly with Trump’s regime that the East Wing, a Roosevelt-era structure, would be demolished to make way for his $300 million ballroom.

The timing is not a coincidence. The White House timeline now reads like a justification narrative: an edited history that paints prior leaders as corrupt and inept while presenting the current demolition as a necessary “renewal.”

Trump has made it a habit to use government powers to attack his political opponenets, with over 100 such cases being noted by April of this year, according to reporting from NPR. This habit continued last month, as the White House website suddenly published a list of Trump’s political enemies and their “crimes” of speaking negatively about the regime, Trump or his ICE private military.

The Hatch Act has long been one of Washington’s most frequently violated statutes, but rarely has its breach been so brazen or visible. In this case, the offense isn’t a rogue tweet or an offhand remark, it’s embedded in the digital architecture of the federal government itself.

For a president obsessed with legacy, the message seems deliberate: rewrite history, erase context, and rebuild the house, both literally and symbolically, in his own image. The East Wing is being torn down, but it’s the credibility of the White House that has already collapsed.
