Let's face it: there's no good reason to deny the construction of the ballroom.

[Rawley]

Never said he did.

He did tear down the building with no approval. Meaning the next President can tear down what he builds without approval.

WW

S/he can. It would be rather absurd, but s/he can.

 

[rightwinger]

Letting foreign countries decide what buildings we keep and which ones we tear down because of a petty temper tantrum, nice.

By the way, be sure to let the foreign dignitaries know it was you that made them hang out in the tent.

A future President will decide to tear down the TRUMP Ballroom…..just like Trump did

Mexico and Canada will just volunteer to help

Congressional Republicans rally around Trump’s White House ballroom project​

A trio of Senate Republicans on Monday announced they will introduce legislation authorizing $400 million in federal funding to build President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom in the wake of a shooting incident that disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., said they were introducing the bill to fund a project that is vital to national security.

A privately funded ballroom no more.

You think that bill will pass? Really?

So, the foreign dignitaries used the lavish toilets in the White House and had to walk to and from the tent. Yeah, good plan that, said no one in particular. And that's what you want them to go back to.

But don't worry, I'm sure they'll put your name on something to remind everyone why they don't have a nice venue to hold state events in.

Its also against the constitution for the state of Va. to take back "Alexandria" from Washington D.C. Permanent is Permanent, there is no ambiguity whatsoever.......DC owns Alexandria permanently.

And it is against the constitution of Va. to Gerrymander the voters of Va. The people are supposed to pick the politicians; the politicians are not allowed to pick the voters.

The democrats seem to have no problem with ignoring any constitution. Texas.......it was simply a matter of correcting the bigotry enacted by the democrat party of Texas when the demwits put all the minorities into their own districts. Talk about hypocrisy. SCOTUS has already ruled that Texas was justified in ending the obvious bigotry and racism established by the democrats.

 

[g5000]

The overblown childishness that he needs to get permission from Congress to build the ballroom—under which there will be doomsday bunkers for the president, his family, and other officials—is on its face basically absurd and definitely politically motivated.

With the largest obstacle being removed immediately via private donations, the only thing left for the opposers to do is drown in TDS and try to pretend that they actually have a legal status behind the arguments that they're making.

Honestly, I don't think anyone who does any serious thinking on the matter is fooled by the political chicanery involved here; and the historical preservationists are reduced to mere idiots in the face of the fact that the old structure is long gone.

The crowd capacity of Trump's Baal room will actually be smaller than the capacity of the Washington Hilton where it has been held every year.

The Washington Hilton ballroom can seat 2,600 to 4,150 people.

Trump's Baal room will only seat 900 to 999 people.

2,600 people attended this year's WHCD.

Oh, that's much better </sarcasm>. Port-a-potties by a different name.

We'll label them, "Brought to you by the party that cares about your comfort, the American democrats!! Enjoy your Port-a-potty by a different name. You could be peeing in comfort and security, but we had a childish temper tantrum and tore it all down."

See, and you have to do to keep that from happening is to stop complaining about us building a great place to hold state events with foreign dignitaries and prevent the next democrat to be elected 50 years from now from destroying it and making them use trailers. So undignified.

Trump Details Military Complex Above and Below New White House Ballroom​

The structure will feature a hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, and dedicated spaces for military personnel.
5/19/2026|Updated: 5/21/2026
...
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on May 19 that when finished, his planned White House ballroom will be the “safest building ever built” and will serve both as a ceremonial venue and as a military-grade facility to help protect the nation’s capital.

Speaking to reporters about the project’s construction progress, Trump said the structure would be designed to withstand both drone and missile attacks, with “a massive drone capacity.”

He said the building will have a drone port on the roof to help protect all of Washington.

The structure will feature a hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, and dedicated spaces for military personnel.

Trump initially announced the 90,000-square-foot White House East Wing ballroom project with an expected cost of $200 million. The estimated cost for the project has since increased to $400 million.
...
“The only budget change would be that we doubled the size at the request of the military,” he said.

The president said the building goes six stories underground and is highly complex, integrating both drone and missile protection systems, along with drone capabilities on the roof. According to Trump, the roof will also accommodate snipers, who will have “a very clear view” of Washington because of the building’s height.
...
“This is really for other presidents. This is not for me,” Trump said. “This is my gift to the United States of America. I’m going to be able to use it very little.”
