: ## Analysis of Source Material
1. Core Topic & Intended Audience:
The core topic of the article is President Trump’s proposed massive expansion of the White House, specifically the addition of a large ballroom and the demolition of the East Wing. It details a meeting of the Commission on Fine Arts where concerns about the project’s scale and design were raised, despite general support for the President’s vision. It also touches on a legal challenge from historic preservationists.
The intended audience is highly likely readers interested in US politics, architecture, historical preservation, and the activities of the Trump governance. It’s geared towards a relatively informed audience, as it doesn’t provide extensive background on the White house or the Commission on Fine Arts.
