President Trump stopped his motorcade in Florida to buy marble for the White House Ballroom.
Some people are upset because the East Wing is being demolished, but officials say the White House has changed many times before, like when the West Wing was built in 1902 and the East Wing was added during World War II.
The marble is for making the Ballroom look nice again.
