It's symbolic. Apparently saying the quiet part out loud isn't enough anymore, now they're performing metaphors to make it really sink in

The destruction of the east wing is the pointless and haphazard destruction done to the government. The great Gatsby party was a feast celebrating people starving. A ballroom bigger than the white house is promise the president will keep the rich having fun first and foremost

The building itself doesn't matter... But the kind of president that would destroy a national monument just cause is the kind of president that doesn't care about our country, let alone human rights
