Trump White House Ballroom Construction
President Trump demolished the White House East Wing in October 2025 to build a 90,000-square-foot grand ballroom, estimated at $400 million and funded by private donors. The project has faced legal challenges — a federal judge halted construction on March 31, 2026, ruling Trump needs congressional authorization — and bitter political debate, though the National Capital Planning Commission approved the design 8-1 on April 2, 2026.
