Trump's Ballroom, will end up being larger than the White House, if he has his way!
I don't see This Ballroom, being a venue, for "We the People" , where "Boy Scouts of America", etc, could gather.
I actually Believe that this Ballroom, will end up being only for the "Elites of America", & the World, with Trump's Name somehow placed on it.
To me,... Messing with the White House, is also an Attempt to change America's Heritage, as in Renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America", which none of the Founding Fathers, were concerned about changing it's Name. And to me,... It's still "The Gulf of Mexico".
But I have to admit, after the White House was rebuilt, after the War of 1812 when the British burned down the first "White House",... The "West Wing" did not exist until Theodore Roosevelt remodeled it, and,.... Added the West Wing. And apparently, several more Administrations such as Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, & Jimmy Carter, either remodeled, or added to the White House in various ways.

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

President Donald Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic, according to four people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.
Trump’s desire to go big with the project has put him at odds with architect James McCrery II, the people said, who has counseled restraint over concerns the planned 90,000-square-foot addition could dwarf the 55,000-square-foot mansion in violation of a general architectural rule: don’t build an addition that overshadows the main building."
