NEW: President Trump says the White House ballroom will be the future site of events like the White House Correspondents Dinner. Trump says you need "everything" when it comes to security: "It's really what you need. I mean, you can't have a thousand rooms. It is a very big hotel on top of the ballroom. And people come down in the elevator and they're right next to the ballroom. "Military and Secret Service have wanted it for many years, and I'm getting it built. And, the one good thing is that now everybody knows how badly needed it is."

Trump: So, we are going to have a phenomenal ballroom. It's going to be one of the best anywhere in the world. There won't be anything like it, actually. It's four sides of beautiful glass. A new thing is you build a super modern building next to an old-fashioned building and I think that's good but I don't have the courage to do that with the white house. It's good for a lot of places. It's not good for here. We will be able to have state dinners. We would literally not even have state dinners because it is not set up.

🚨🇺🇸 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

Q: You have repeatedly said taxpayers would not pay for the ballroom. Why should taxpayers now be on the hook for a billion dollars? TRUMP: Well they're not. That's for many other projects. That's for projects having to do with safety in a certain section of the White House grounds. We're putting up $400m to do the ballroom section of the ballroom.

The reflecting pool outside the White House is being replaced with blue paint because it is cheaper. But he needs a $500m ballroom and Solid Gold decor in the White House that makes it look like a tacky whorehouse. Infinite money for him, none for you.

Senator Fetterman admitted he never really understood President Trump’s push for the White House ballroom — until after last night. FETTERMAN: “I never really had a strong opinion on the ballroom, to be honest.” “But but this clearly demonstrated, you know, how difficult it is to move around there.” “And you know that the the ballroom is, is effectively underground and it has very limited, very limited kinds of ingress and egress to get out.” “So I think from an evacuation and when you have to evacuate, whether the president or other parts of of the leadership, I mean, this is just not the right place for that.”

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.

🇺🇸 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."
