Trump responded:

“So-called ‘preservationists’ who get their money from the most unlikely of places should not be allowed to stop this desperately needed addition to our BIG White House, which no matter how large (and important!) it is, a President has never needed permission to alter or improve because of the special ground it stands on.”

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon last week questioned the administration’s legal authority regarding the project And he looked skeptical He thinks he has received a potential injunction. The judge said he would decide next month.

Trump said this up to $400 million The cost of the ballroom will be covered by private donations. raise ethical and other questions It’s a question the White House has yet to answer.

But he defended Sunday that the planned facility was “a great, great, beautiful gift to the United States” and complained that the East Wing had been “bastardized” by previous renovations.

“Moreover, in this instance, it is being done with the design, consent, and approval of the highest levels of the United States Military and Secret Service. The mere filing of this absurd lawsuit has, unfortunately, already exposed the hitherto Top Secret truth. To halt construction at such a late date, when so much has already been ordered and built, would be devastating to the White House, our Country, and everyone involved.”

Although he did not provide further details, the East Wing was known to be home to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (aka Trump’s “underground bunker”). reportedly used during the protests in 2020 and the new project is likely to replace and/or upgrade the facility.

Trump was obsessed with the project, which he often brought up unprompted. He even interrupted a speech earlier this month. White House meeting oil industry executives stand up, walk to the window, and looking at the construction site.
