I asked before where the existing East Wing offices are going to, and who is going to pay for the relocated location.
Maybe there is no need to relocate the First Lady suite in this administration, what with her usually living in New York or maybe Florida. But in the future, regardless of whether the U.S. remains a dictatorship or goes back to being a representative democracy, we will need this again.
P.S. Trump seems to be losing a PR opportunity here:
People seems to think they are demolishing the entire East Wing, while WaPo says it is just the facade.
