Chelsea Clinton Laments Trump Demeans the White House with His RenovationsSimon Kent 24 Oct 2025
Chelsea Clinton has chided President Donald Trump for renovating the exterior of the White House, lamenting he demeans its stature by his actions – the same building where her father demeaned himself and the nation in his scandalous Oval Office dealings with intern Monica Lewinsky.
The Democrat president’s daughter delivered her rebuke of Trump in an opinion piece published Friday in USA Today, calling on him to honor higher standards in public life as he takes a “wrecking ball to our heritage.”
The piece is headlined — Chelsea Clinton: Trump is wrecking the People’s House
In it she goes to great lengths to praise the White House for embodying all that is great and good about the USA, making clear in her opinion it “belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House. I never forgot that.”
An “unsettled” Chelsea Clinton chides the Republican for, “A disregard for history is a defining trait of President Trump’s second administration.”
The only child of Bill and Hillary Clinton calls for higher standards, citing “outrage” at Trumps actions.
Her piece concludes with a cry for responsibility from the president and that he honors those who have gone before – including her father:
Our greatness doesn’t come because we ignore our history – it comes because we acknowledge it, we learn from it and build a better future on it, including in the buildings and gardens of the People’s House.
The White House will always be a home I was lucky enough to live in for a while. Even more important, it is a mirror of our democracy, resilient when we honor its foundations but fragile when we take them for granted. What was dismantled today isn’t just marble or plaster; it is a reflection of how easily history can be erased when power forgets purpose.
At no time does she mention her father’s sexual antics with Lewinsky during his second term in the very same building she applauds as a model of national rectitude.
