“When completed, there will be nothing like it anywhere in the World!”
President Donald Trump shared computer-generated images on Truth Social Sunday of the ballroom he is building on White House grounds, calling it a “National Security Facility” and claiming it remains on schedule. The rendering shows a white structure with large columns topped by lion sculptures, staircases, and a platform. Trump first announced the project last year, which drew immediate criticism from liberals; some accused him of tearing down the East Wing. In April, after an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trump argued the ballroom was needed for security reasons. Skeptics, however, have questioned that justification, with one liberal commentator suggesting Trump intends to use the space to remain in the White House after 2028.
