Joyce Vance: "Last week, Donald Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House, scarring The People’s House. The East Wing was the location where people from all over the world entered for public tours of the White House. Donald Trump has put an end to that. All tours have been suspended indefinitely. Americans need food on their tables and affordable medical care. Instead, they will get a gilded ballroom for the ultra-wealthy."
