the building? And like during the 70's and 80's NYC apartment fires that it is ruled accidental?

Once he put his name on it a heck of a lot of performers canceled and his wittle feelings were hurt so he lashed out.

or was in honor of a Democrat is being renamed or destroyed..

The White House Rose Garden was established in 1913 by Ellen Louise Axson Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson, and designed by landscape architect George Burnap.[3][4] In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt commissioned Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. to redesign the garden, and he installed cast iron furniture pieces.[5]

The first small East Wing (and the West Wing) was designed by Charles Follen McKim and built in 1902 during the Theodore Roosevelt renovations, as an entrance for formal and public visitors.[1] This served mainly as an entrance for guests during large social gatherings, when it was necessary to accommodate many cars and carriages. Its primary feature was the long cloak room with spots for coats and hats of the ladies and gentleme

I know there is more, what else?

He'll do the same thing he's always done, from the bas-relief facade on the Bonwit Teller Building (after promising to preserve it when demolishing the building to build Trump Tower) to the East Wing of the White House, he's just saying some mollifying crap to shut people up until the wreckers move in, and then it just comes down.
