In a pointed critique of US President Donald Trump's controversial decision to demolish part of the White House East Wing, actress and writer Whoopi Goldberg responded: "That is not your building. You don't own that building."
She went on to humorously compare the situation to her attempting to renovate Trump Tower, saying, "That would be like me going over to Trump Tower and saying I'm going to build a disco. They've wanted a disco in Trump Tower for hundreds of years."
Goldberg's comments come amid widespread criticism of Trump's US$250 million luxury banquet hall project, which continues during the federal government shutdown and raises concerns about preserving historical architecture.
