“In the end, this ballroom isn’t about vanity; it’s about practicality. Trump is reshaping the White House the way he’s reshaped Washington—unapologetically, efficiently, and to the absolute horror of his critics.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that President Trump’s latest project at the White House is causing quite a stir. A grand ballroom worthy of hosting foreign leaders and dignitaries is now underway in the location where the East Wing once stood. Critics are fuming, pundits are pearl-clutching, and yet again, Trump is living rent-free in the heads of liberals everywhere. But when you cut through the melodrama, the facts tell a very different story—a practical and even historic one.
Trump’s vision for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom isn’t some spur-of-the-moment ego trip. For more than a century, White House planners and presidents have floated the idea of expanding its official event space. The existing East Room holds barely 200 guests, forcing administrations—yes, even Obama and Biden’s—to erect expensive, tacky tents on the South Lawn for large state dinners.
