Trump May Name New Ballroom After Himself
By: Jennifer Bowers Bahney (Mediaite)
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Donald Trump is considering naming the new $300 million White House Ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials who spoke to ABC News.
The sources told ABC News that officials are already referring to it as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom," and that the name "will likely stick."
The White House played down the speculation Friday, with a spokesperson telling Fox News Digital, "Any announcement made on the name of the ballroom will come directly from President Trump himself, and not through anonymous and unnamed sources."
When asked about the potential ballroom naming on Thursday, Trump replied, "I won't get into that now."
On Friday, White House Aide Stephen Millerdefended the project as all part of Trump's plan to beautify Washington, D.C.
"The East Wing, which reportedly is not part of the White House — it is not part of the residence — it was a cheaply-built add-on structure in the mid-20th century, which houses offices, is not a residence, nobody lives there — is badly in need of refurbishment, repair, and renovation," Miller told Fox News on Friday.
He added that "very importantly, President Trump is making sure it is in the neoclassical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed. Up until again recently, where we begin seeing these modern art structures, these brutalist structures, and these many other buildings that have been horrible and depressing to look at."
Trump posted to Truth Social Monday, "For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American Taxpayer! The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous Patriots, Great American Companies, and, yours truly. This Ballroom will be happily used for Generations to come!"

He already thinks he is the greatest president of all time, there is no way he will permit it to be named after someone else.
Think that not even his narcissism will allow him to build his own gold statue and mount it on the Whitehouse front lawn?
seriously. with his past legacy of construction change orders and contractor disputes, what are the odds of him ever seeing maga arena completed?
About the same odds of him actually paying for the construction.
Consider yourself lucky. He's capable of naming The White House to be The Trump House.
Names are easily changed, as Trump well knows.
The only reason the ballroom is being built, and on such a scale, is to serve as a federal monument to himself. Of course it is going to have his name. The place will also be filled with statues and framed photos of him.
He’s probably looking for other places to install a monument to himself.
Maybe it should float back to France.
May? There is no doubt whatsoever that he will. Everyone else will know it as Pig Shit Palace.
they might as well carve the quarter moons on the entry doors now ...

You mean it'll be called the "Asshole Arena"?
People don't seem to like my suggestion of "Golden Pussy Palace". How about "Poontang Palazzo"? "Girlie Gallery"? "Epstein Emporium"?
America must be in awesome shape if a ballroom can dominate peoples’ obsessions.
America must be fucked up if the president is constantly urging his political opponents and federal prosecutors be jailed .
Barely a day goes by without him whining that so and so should be in prison.
...the administration is spending their time in office and over $300,000,000 in taxpayers money to build a 90,000 sq ft gold painted ballroom. I guess that means all the other actually important things America needs have all been solved, right? Trump and company have introduced a reasonable and rational cost saving health insurance plan to take over for the ACA that will provide better health outcomes for less tax payer money, all the border is secure, unemployment rates are below 3%, all the global conflicts we're embroiled in have been wrapped up, domestic divisions are healed, America has come together and resolved our differences so we NEED a giant ballroom to celebrate all our amazing achievements in, right? /s
the administration is spending their time in office and over $300,000,000 in taxpayers money
no they aren’t

Can you show that money is taxpayer money?
Also, it will "dismay" you to find out one of the donors is Comcast, the owners of MSNBC, NBC news. Will you stop paying attention to them now that you know?
"I view this enormous ballroom as an ethics nightmare," Richard Painter, a former chief ethics lawyer in the Bush White House between 2005 and 2007, told the BBC.
"It's using access to the White House to raise money. I don't like it," he added. "These corporations all want something from the government."
Who is paying for Donald Trump's new White House ballroom?
We're all going to end up paying for the ballroom. Believing it's "free" is just another lie.

Trump's destruction of the East Wing wiped away American values, traditions, history, and heritage. What is more important than defending America?
Destroying the East Wing of the White House is a gut punch similar to watching the Twin Towers fall. A piece of America has been attacked and destroyed.
What kind of American let's that happen? Donald Trump just accomplished something that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda wanted to do. Are you okay with that?
The East Wing stood for 123 years. That's half the history of the United States. The East Wing was added by the 26th President and 47th President just trashed it for what? Landfill? Half the history of the United States was in the way of Trump's ego? What kind of American does something like that?
What, specifically, of those things is destroyed by tearing down an office complex?
Lol. Less than in other renovations.
There's more history in local buildings that get torn down on a daily basis than in the offices that have been there less than 100 years. Per chatgpt, nothing of historical note has taken place there. The biggest thing was FDR building a bomb shelter.
I think America can survive the loss of some offices and a bomb shelter.
Yeah - can't forget Obama's basketball court that tore down the tennis court that was paid for by the taxpayers in that same location.
kinda forgot that this renovation is being paid for by private parties - as compared to previous renovations that were all paid for by the taxpayers.
Wow, two baskets and some painted lines ... must of cost a misty-fortune ... /s
FDR demolishing the West wing in 1934. I wonder what the difference between FDR and Trump are to make leftists suffer from BDS? s/
was a ballroom or some other structure put up in place of the west wing? or was the west wing improved?
Um, as you can see, the West Wing was demolished. Absolutely no difference with demolition of the East Wing.
Why wouldn't a ballroom be an improvement on offices?
Serious question.
I understand the objection to Trump not going through the correct protocol and getting the historical people on board before demolition. I'm not sure I understand the objection to a ballroom or the supposed devotion to office space in the WH itself.
The WH has been renovated and improved dozens of times over the years. Most of us haven't minded because the fundamental historical parts of the structure have either remained or the new construction has maintained those architectural qualities.
If Trump puts back a larger East Wing that looks very similar to the previous smaller East Wing, what's the problem?
Moreover, if the East Wing becomes something open to the public on a tour (unlike now), it seems like that would be an improvement.
The same thing that would have been destroyed by tearing down the West Wing and the Oval Office. If it is just an office complex then there's nothing sacred about the Oval Office.
What has been destroyed? The legacy, history, and traditions of First Ladies since World War II have been destroyed. There is no place for the First Lady any longer. The East Wing was the space for the First Lady to be hostess welcoming visitors and presiding over social occasions.
So, what is the place for women in American values, history, and traditions now? Trump views women as a fashionable accoutrement for rich old men. As entertainment. As a trophy. Trump views the legacy and traditions of First Ladies as totally unimportant.
There is enough open space on White House grounds to accommodate 10 or more of Trump's grand ballroom. There was no need whatsoever to destroy the East Wing. But Trump wants his shoddy piece of New York shit to dominate the White House. Just like Trump dominates women. Whatever Trump builds must be demolished to restore the White House to its intended status. There isn't any other choice.
Queen Elizabeth danced there during he Ford administration. Princess Diana danced there hosted by Ronald Reagan. The East Wing was the venue for hosting those who were history. Winston Churchill was feted in the East Wing. Mamie Eisenhower was hostess for a state dinner for Nikita Khrushchev. A state dinner for Queen Elizabeth was hosted by Melania Trump during Trump's first term.
If the East Wing was good enough for REAL royalty then Trump has nothing to whine about. You have to understand that Trump lying about needing more space. That is not the point. Trump wants a structure with his name on it that will stand over and dominate the White House. What kind of American would do that?
This TrumpRoom is more than 1 1/2 times larger than the original White House. The planning commission itself said it will overshadow the White House. That is more than a good enough reason to not have it.
Exactly.
The West Wing was remodeled. The East Wing was removed.
By the picture of the West WING in 1939, it had been demolished.
Let me ask you this....[✘]
[✘]
Im not going to argue your stupid point any more. In one case the demolished building was rebuilt to improve its existing condition, in the other the building was destroyed forever.
In other words, my point is correct. I appreciate you indirectly acknowledging it.
I guess you can call a couple of partially left walls "improve the existing condition. s/
Gawd, the endless cliche question.
Here is something factual. Trump IS doing this and much more and we can see exactly how Trump supporters react. How they will support and defend this demagogue no matter what he does.
Since you are ' wondering ', here is the difference:
This was an expansion (not demolition) of the West Wing office area to meet the needs of a growing government. It was done for a real purpose. Futher, FDR went through the official channels rather than act unilaterally.
I asked ChatGPT to chronicle the approval channels FDR went through and the protocol he followed:
Which one was/is a vanity project?
[✘]
Umm, are you channeling your inner Swalwell? hehe. Right on queue here he is demanding that the next nominee must vow to tear it down.
[✘]
[✘]
Any dems in congress and the senate that hate it so much they should mall make a declaration in public and in written form that if they ever become president they will lock the doors to the ballroom and never use it.
Knowing they would do the exact opposite the moment they are in office.
Don't the historical preservation people still have to approve it?
You support the unilateral demolition of the East Wing by Trump because he (personally) wants a signature ballroom that is almost twice as big as the White House proper?
Having a ballroom fit to hold state dinners built without cost to the taxpayers is a reasonable project. Hating it "because Trump" which is all this is, seems one of the silliest possible obsessions the left has ever engaged in. The tennis court Obama destroyed had more history than the offices Trump just tore down. It's just not a big deal.
[✘]
And yet I predict it will be a very big deal for one party in the 2028 elections... sigh
I also predict the big deal includes the lie that the taxpayers paid for it.
It’s. Not. His. House.
If I came over to your house, tore a third of it down, and built myself a party room where your living room used to be, would you give a shit that I’m paying for it myself?
[✘]
Or if I tore your Tennis court out to put in a basketball court? Or I destroyed your guest room to put in a pool? Or a bowling alley or spent 500 million of your money on upgrades for me? The only thing you object to is who is doing it.
Or gut the entirety of the White House using your money for something I want.
I'm sorry, George, you can't dismiss this because "It's Trump". It's not. It is not his house. Moderations have been done to the building before. They didn't destroy a whole wing. It is the "People's House", not his. He did it with no oversight and no input. The new structure will not be harmonious with the rest of the structure, and no one but him wanted to do this.
In the past, he has made moderations to the White House, and I have had no issue with it, even though I think it's pretty tasteless, but this is the same guy who went on about statues over Civil War generals because of "history" and then he actually destroys and over 100 year old structure that is part of our collective history, and I have a big issue with that.
I used to think it was a joke but TDS is appears to be real. I haven’t seen the final plans for what is being built, just designer drawings of what it will look like, do we seriously think there will be no space dedicated to the First Lady and her staff that will be new and modern?
It's still there and the hoops were freestanding and removable. Stop listening to Leavitt, you just might save your sanity.
TDS is real, you just get the D(evotion) part wrong.
[✘]
This is a 1934 picture of the West Wing. Looks like some simple carpet changes and repairs to dings on the walls s/
It is very real. All you have to do is seed a story about butterflies and mocking birds, and, somehow, most on the left will find a way to make Trump a villain to these animals when the seed is absolutely nothing about him.
Pretty weak if all you have is to compare the White house to a house someone owns and personally lives in.
Yeah you just ignore all rebuttals and keep on the same bullshit.
see @5.3.17
This was an expansion of the West Wing to accommodate a larger office area and meet the needs of a growing government. The demolition you see was normal construction required to expand the space.
Further, the initiative was done for a real purpose. FDR went through the official channels rather than acting unilaterally.
Trump unilaterally decided to demolish the East Wing. He did not go through channels. He has no real purpose other than to have a grand ballroom that he can name after himself. It is self-aggrandizement done on his whim, without going through the proper channels, as if he were king.
And of course, Trump supporters will defend everything this asshole does. The White House is not his personal property. He is the steward. He is supposed to engage in actions according to protocol and do so for good reasons that benefit the nation ... not merely because the individual occupying the office of the presidency has a desire.
Do you support Trump unilaterally demolishing the East Wing?
Sorry, no, because there are Republicans who have come out and said that. Sometimes something is wrong, no matter who is doing it, and this is one of those times.
Another stupid, stereotype-driven accusation posted by you.
Trump continues to engage in bad practices and your grand 'defense' is that his critics are only against his wrongdoing because he is Trump. Feeble as can be.
Do you support Trump unilaterally demolishing the East Wing?
I don’t care what republicans or democrats say, not one person here has seen the blueprint or what the new east wing will look like, their entire argument is trump hiding behind the peoples house BS,
Obama added removable hoops so that the tennis court could be used for basketball too. He did not tear out the tennis court. FDR did not destroy a guest room for his pool.
Your examples are all modest enhancements to the White House. All through proper protocol. You compare this to Trump unilaterally demolishing the East Wing of the White House.
Your comparison is pathetically wrong in protocol, purpose and especially scale. Another feeble attempt to defend Trump no matter what.
[✘]
[✘]
Pretty weak excuse also is when one uses the term "partial demolition", when attempting to describe what happened to the west wing, then in the next sentence, says the west wing was not "demolished". Whoever wrote their talking points needs to be fired.
We know we have one democrat that wants future democrats to destroy the ballroom, but rest assured, they will use this ballroom as much as possible because they do not want the same ridicule of Obama using porta potties and tents to host world leaders.
Again, you have nothing but platitudes and cliches.
You cannot rebut my argument. All you do is whip out the canned 'opinion' bullshit and you 'just because it is Trump' bullshit.
Your 'rebuttal' is pathetic.
At what point in time will you recognize that Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House?
What more do you need? What additional facts do you think will emerge that you need to recognize what took place?
What does the blueprint have to do with this? Trump unilaterally demolished the East Wing. It does not matter what blueprints might say, he did not go through proper channels and is acting on his personal whim as if he were a king.
That is problem number one, George: unilateral demolition of a national, historical structure.
That photo only showed part of the story. Here is what it looked like during construction:
Even in your photo, it is clear that the building was not leveled. FDR did this to expand the East Wing for its intended purpose of making the space more useful. This expansion of the East Wing and for a bunker, a new Oval Office, and a new entry.
Republicans had a fit over this renovation, accusing Roosevelt of “using the project to bolster his presidency’s image.” Sound familiar? Btw, FDR got permission for this expansion, and Trump didn't.
And for the record, I didn't have an issue with a ballroom per se, I have an issue with Trump doing it with no oversight and with no care for the actual architecture of the building.
I never said a word about the Rose Garden or any other modifications that Trump has made. But this is just too much.
Other than the fact that Trump has displayed a model of the exterior and renderings of the inside. Blueprints are irrelevant.
Not everyone is blindly partisan. Some people engage in critical thinking. The fact that there is so much criticism of Trump is because of what he is doing.
It would be very different if people were criticizing Trump merely for pointless things, such as golfing too much. But the criticism is not for petty items. Trump is making bad/stupid moves on a weekly basis. And Trump supporters just keep trying to defend him no matter what. And note that their defenses are not factual, but emotional. They attack the critic, dismiss the source, deflect, etc. because they —point of fact— have no rebuttal.
I have noticed that blind partisans tend not to believe it is even possible that some people think critically and do not base their views on partisan boundaries.
There are no proper channels the whitehouse along with both the congressional building and the Supreme Court are exempt from the NHPA, there is no protocol, he doesn’t need anyone’s permission or some liberal fuktard would have found a pathetic ambulance chaser to sue to stop it by now. Trump isn’t a reason to legally stop this.
Also, apparently the NYT must be a right wing rag now because they use the term "partial demolition" in this article headline.

John, you quoted George in a reply to me. I really do not want his words attributed to me.
C'mon Perrie. The only thing left of the original east wing was a couple of walls. Even your picture shows no walls where there once was.
" Btw, FDR got permission for this expansion, and Trump didn't."
He didn't need it.

This boo hooing over something that does not affect 99.999999999 percent of the country by democrats needs to stop. We know it is nothing more than a deflection of their failed shutdown.
Maybe this is another "leverage" democrats have to keep American families from getting the food they need.
You do realize that this same argument can be used to counter your objections, the East wing is the entertainment wing while the west was traditionally the business side.
The East Wing was partially demolished and now it is gone.
Do you recognize this fact?
Do you approve of Trump unilaterally demolishing the East Wing?
FDR did not unilaterally demolish the West Wing. He went through channels with all sorts of approvals and followed protocol. And most importantly, the West Wing project was an expansion to support government operations. It was done for a real purpose, a purpose of government. Not based on the personal whims of someone who thinks he is king.
[✘]
You would have a point of fact if you actually provided one, trump does stupid things weekly is an opinion, not a fact and partisan. You claiming to be non partisan is only an opinion that again doesn’t appear to be based in fact, a true nonpartisan would wait until there were actual facts and not jump immediately to partisan opinions.
Bullshit, George. Trump has no authority to demolish the East Wing. None.
You are just making shit up. Another pathetically feeble attempt to defend Trump no matter what.
I asked ChatGPT to provide background on this fact:
Again, what facts do you need for you to recognize that Trump has unilaterally demolished the East Wing?
There is a point where one should accept reality. In this case, the point is now. Trump did indeed unilaterally demolish the East Wing.
Many of these leftists are using the excuse of FDR demolishing the west wing in 1934 was to expand government operations.
Similar excuses can be made when talking about the ballroom. World leaders can discuss world affairs, make agreements, deals, etc all in the comfort of a nice place to do so. Much better than the tents and port a potties their god Obama used to try and woo world leaders.
If it were a D doing this, and the Rs were complaining about it, the D would be using the same verbiage as the right to excuse their president for doing what they would be doing.
Anything to get American's mind off of the failed democrat shutdown where families, and especially military families, are feeling the effects of Schumer's breakdown because more than likely, AOC will challenge him.
It is a fact that the expansion was purposeful ... to support the operational needs of government. You cannot prove otherwise either. Portraying a fact as an 'excuse' is yet another in a long string of pathetic attempts to defend Trump no matter what.
A ballroom, in and of itself, could indeed have a legit purpose; one that could have been approved by normal channels and protocol. The problem is not the idea of a ballroom but rather the unilateral actions that Trump took:
Do you support Trump unilaterally destroying the East Wing?
Let's see a Trump supporter defend this unilateral act rather than deflect or spout bullshit.
I found this most surprising to find out. While I have mixed feelings about what Trump did and the way he did it I find the US not having a proper place to host events with world leaders other than a tent to be repulsive. It is an embarrassment to the US. When things like this arise I usually take the name out of it and ask what I think about what is being done and not who is doing it. Many folks can obviously not separate the two. In this case I would like to see the president try and go through Congress to get the money appropriated. Where should have also been discussed. If nothing came of that and a President could legally do it (especially with private funds) I would applaud it. Where would be secondary but if the only spot that made sense was the East wing I would say tear it down.
Not to mention using it as an example of a threat to democracy. Many will milk this one for all it is worth.
Ya think? And maybe go through normal channels of approval first??
It is profoundly different to have a PotUS (as was true of all others) who actually behaved like a steward and go through channels. Trump did not. He unilaterally ordered the demolition of the East Wing.
Good to see that at least one Trump supporter recognizes this. (Assuming you do not backtrack now.)
I doubt that. Trump has a long string of stupid and dangerous words and deeds and he will almost certainly continue this trend.
It takes no effort whatsoever to see the damage he is causing. It takes no effort to recognize his attempt to secure as much power as he can.
The question really is when Trump supporters are going to wake up and see what this abysmal human being is doing to our nation.
[✘]
You would think all in Congress and the Senate would be embarrassed by this. Yet keeping the tent seems to be more important than how we are viewed by the world.
[✘]
Let's say Trump was president with an all D Congress and went through whatever protocols leftists are claiming he is supposed to go through (he isn"t required to) and the D Congress turns down the request for money for a ballroom.
Fast forward 4 years and a D is in office now. Guaranteed the first bill passed by the D congress is funds for a ballroom and to tear down the east wing, because "it is needed so badly to entertain world leaders".
It is not about the ballroom.....it's ALL about Trump doing it.
[✘]
Didn't know where to put that.
[✘]
If congress did not give the funds Trump could have started a foundation like Reagan did with Lee Iacocca and Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation
I find it hard to believe the Dems would not have stopped him if he was doing something illegal. At least have it tied up in courts until after he leaves(whenever that is)
They should be embarrassed it doesn't already exist and be part of it getting done instead of whining about it
It often is

Holy fuck are you still using AI to make arguments for you. If anything you just allowed another to say for you was true there would be a writ before the court demanding he stops.
The best description of using AI that I have heard was at a recent judicial conference was AI is like relying upon a 10 year old who wants nothing more to please to do your research for you.
there are dozens and dozens of these. AI lies
No. I am using ChatGPT as a source and to compile data to back up my argument.
I used ChatGPT to back up my argument with data, and it includes links to sources corroborating its content.
I know it sucks when tools like Google search and ChatGPT are available to quickly find and compile data that shows you are wrong.
Too bad. It is not the tools, it is your pathetic 'arguments'.
Now if you believe what I presented in my post is wrong, you are free to make a rebuttal. But whining about AI and showing utter ignorance in how it works reinforces that you have no rebuttal to present.
[✘]
If you’re a renter, you can’t just tear down part of the house and then add stuff to it.
But even if you personally own the property you live in, you do not have free rein to just tear down part of the structure and build whatever you like in its place. You need permits. You have to comply with building codes. If it’s a historical building, you may not be allowed to improve it in even a small way.
And that’s if you actually own the property, which Trump does not.
Please tell me you don’t think the Whitehouse has to pull permits, or submit plans.
There is a process, even for the White House, whether you want to hear about it or not.
If trump was doing something illegal you don't think the dems would let it go on anyway
You specifically said permits, which there isn't and as for "the Process" there isn't one, simply a protocol which isn't law that he doesn't have to follow if he doesn't want to.
sigh
Yep, I used the word “permit” - as an example of the kind of process that any random property owner or resident might need to go through before removing or remodeling a structure. I never said Trump had to get a permit, specifically.
do you even read the words that you type?
The Trump Store is now selling collectible pieces of The East Wing of The White House online. Imagine if Obama or Biden did that!
You have a link to that, specifically where he is selling Merch on the trump store.
Here! Are you unable to Google in wherever you post from?
Trumpstore.com | The Official Retail Website of the Trump Organization
Do you have trouble with google translator from where you are posting from? I can easily find the Trump store but can’t find where he is selling collectibles from the East wing, that is why I asked for a link to that merchandise.
Yeah, I laughed at the claim that the Trump store was selling collectible pieces of the East Wing so I had to go out myself to look. Could not find anything like that online. Some rather tacky stuff, but nothing from the torn down East Wing.
For what its worth
It's not worth much as it cannot be found online in the Trump Store website. That's what's been asked for.
All a Google search can find is an Instagram posting from realbayareamemes that has a meme for that. As I'm not on Instagram I cannot save the picture to post here but here's the link. But it's just a meme, not reality.
Instagram
On further inquiry Co-pilot says the page is satire.
That would go great with my piece of coal from the Titanic.
Gee, i'm not surprised nobody fell for this.
We don’t even know what this “project” is. Not really. People keep not learning the lesson that Trump lies constantly. And when he’s not lying, he’s hiding the truth. The same goes for everyone working for him.
They say it’s a ballroom. But is it? The thing would be absurdly large for a ballroom. Trump says it’s supposed to hold 999 people, but a structure that size could accommodate three times that many. Who is the architect? Who is building it? Hell, who tore down the East Wing? Did no one ask if they needed permission or have to go through a process of approval before tearing it down? Why does no one in Congress know anything about it? Why does none of them seem to care?
Why don’t journalists ask these questions? I did see one ask if Trump could just tear down the Jefferson Memorial, but she didn’t get an answer. I would say the answer is obviously “yes,” because who would stop him? Clearly, no one.
Next Dem president should immediately demolish trumps 'ballroom'.
That’s hysterical, you forgot the sarcasm tag.
Um, no. LOL Destroy it, just to own the cons. Burn it to the ground and piss in the ashes, fuck trump.
I actually approve of that idea only to own the cons
Unlike Saddam Hussein Trump has statues of himself torn down! He doesn't wait to be deposed. He actually wants them down!
That is unlikely because it would mean the USA elected another psychopath who thinks he is king and can simply decree the demolition of Federal property and a piece of national history.
I respectfully disagree.
It will be the peoples ballroom.
A project this large likely won't be complete before the end of Trump's term. He just wanted to slap his name on something he deemed significant for the ego boost.
he won't be the only one that will never see the finished product ...
