🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP: WE ARE DONATING A $400M BALLROOM TO THE WHITE HOUSE “We are donating a four hundred million dollar ballroom, and we got sued not to build it for one hundred and fifty years. Myself and donors are giving it free of charge. It will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. They asked for a restraining order to stop us from building it. I said who would sue to stop a four hundred million dollar beautiful ballroom. The White House has wanted a ballroom for one hundred and fifty years. They used to use a tent, and when it rained people were sitting in six inches of water. This ballroom will handle inaugurations. It has five inch thick glass windows. It is impenetrable by anything but a howitzer. It will be safe, spectacular, and fit beautifully with the White House. You are going to love it. Happy Hanukkah. We love you and we love Israel.” Source: White House

Reporter: “You had repeatedly said that taxpayers would not pay for the ballroom at the White House. Why should taxpayers now be on the hook for a billion dollars?” President Trump: “Well, they’re not. That’s for many other projects. That’s for projects having to do with safety and a certain section of the White House grounds. That’s not all for the ballroom. We’re putting up $400M to do the ballroom section of the ballroom.” “We are putting that up privately.” “They want to do certain things militarily with respect to the ballroom.”

Rep. Vindman tells PabloReports that it doesn’t make any sense to include the White House ballroom in the reconciliation package. PabloReports: What do you make of Republicans trying to put Trump’s ballroom in the reconciliation package? Vindman: I don’t think it makes any sense. The ballroom should have gone through Congress at the start, and right now, they’re trying to jam it through, and it doesn’t make any sense.

🇺🇸 TRUMP GREENLIGHTS $200M WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM PROJECT U.S. Karoline Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt: "We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House Ballroom will begin soon. For 150 years, presidents, administrations, and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. The project will begin in September 2025 and is expected to be completed long before the end of President Trump’s term. President Trump and other donors have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million structure. The White House Ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, while maintaining a theme and architectural heritage almost identical to it."

🚨 JUST IN: A federal judge has ONCE AGAIN HALTED construction of President Trump’s ballroom, despite an Appeals Court striking down his previous order to do so These “judges” are HELLBENT on stopping literally ANYTHING 47 does.. The judiciary is a LOST CAUSE in our country, if something doesn’t change NOW. The judge is now only allowing UNDERGROUND construction to occur at the White House Complex, which doesn’t include the Ballroom.

Trump the BOSS has a dream. Visions of a new White House ballroom floated in Trump’s mind dating back at least to 2010, when he called Barack Obama’s White House offering to build one. His offer was rebuffed. “It was going to cost about $100 million,” Trump said during his first term. “I offered to do it, and I never heard back.” “For 150 years, they've wanted to have a ballroom ... We'll start in two months ... and we'll have it completed in less than two years," says .President Donald J. Trump on his plan to build a ballroom at the White House. "It's going to be beautiful ... A great tribute to the White House." President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail,” White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said. The new ballroom — funded by Trump and private donors, will maintain the “theme and architectural heritage” of the neoclassical executive mansion, the White House said—it will have a seated capacity of 650 people, more than three times the space in the East Room, currently the largest event space in the White House.
