From the Rose Garden to a Ballroom, Trump Set to Leave ‘Permanent Stamp’ on White House

The $200 million project funded by private donors will create a 90,000-square-foot ballroom to host larger events and address a 150-year-old need, White House officials said.

  • The Trump Administration announced plans for a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House East Wing, with construction beginning earlier this month.
  • Construction started earlier this month, backed by McCrery Architects PLLC, with funding reportedly coming from private donors and major corporations.
  • Critics, including Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, have voiced concerns, stating this development reflects a desire for opulence over public service during federal program cuts.
  • Critics argue that the ballroom, which is larger than the White House itself, signifies excess amid cuts to federal programs.
