Former first lady Michelle Obama<\/a> took a shot at President Donald Trump\u2019s demolition of the White House East Wing during an NBC interview on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her time in the White House with another former resident, NBC’s Jenna Bush Hager, Obama joked about the changes to the historic building.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no guidebook,” Obama said of the challenges of being first lady<\/a> during an appearance on NBC\u2019s “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” to promote her new book, “The Look.”<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s barely a staff. Now we don\u2019t have a building,” she said, referencing the uproar over the East Wing construction.<\/p>\n

Trump tore down the East Wing<\/a> to make room for a $250 million ballroom project, a move Democrats have slammed as erasing a key part of the building\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

WHITE HOUSE MAKEOVERS HAVE LONG SPARKED CONTROVERSY, WELL BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP’S $200M BALLROOM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Obama lived in the White House for eight years with her family. The East Wing formerly housed the first lady\u2019s office and staff.<\/p>\n

“I know, R.I.P. the East Wing,” said Bush Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ex-White House residents Hillary Clinton<\/a> and Chelsea Clinton were also vocal critics of the move last month.<\/p>\n

Obama, who was the first Black woman to become first lady, also said she felt her family was criticized more than other first families.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The light was a little bit brighter because politics created an otherness. There were some people who tried to paint everything we did as a sign that we weren’t ready, that we weren’t suited, that we weren’t American enough,” Obama said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BILL MAHER SAYS TRUMP’S CONSTRUCTION OF ‘GIANT BALLROOM’ MEANS ‘HE’S NOT LEAVING\u2019 THE WHITE HOUSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“And I don’t think that other families dealt with that kind of criticism. But as you know, the first lady, it’s a strange job,” she said.<\/p>\n

Photos of the construction sparked outrage online. The Trump administration has defended the demolition.<\/p>\n

“Unhinged leftists and their Fake News allies are clutching their pearls over President Donald J. Trump\u2019s visionary addition of a grand, privately funded ballroom,” the White House said in a statement, calling the project a “bold, necessary addition.”<\/p>\n

Officials also noted that previous presidents made major changes during their terms. Their list included President Theodore Roosevelt’s addition of the West Wing<\/a>, President Barack Obama<\/a>\u2019s basketball court, and President Bill Clinton\u2019s restoration of the Executive Mansion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
