The White House is getting a new giant Ballroom annex

First major construction/addition since the 40’s. Being built for large state gatherings.
quote:
The proposed White House State Ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet and accommodate 650 seated guests—a significant increase from the East Room’s 200-person capacity. President Trump has met with White House staff, the National Park Service, the White House Military Office, and the U.S. Secret Service to finalize design and planning details. “The White House Ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, but at the same time, its theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical. The site of the new ballroom will be where the small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits. The East Wing was constructed in 1902 and has been renovated and changed many times, with a second story added in 1942,” reads a White House statement.

Clinton did his balling in the Oval Office.

Don’t know why this is needed, but if we must, take the money we give for useless aid to countries who hate us to pay for it instead.

My President is paying it out of his own pocket

Technically, Monica did the balling in the oval office.
Clinton "Did not have secks with that woman."
Have we ever nailed down a solid definition of what "is" is?

Ah yes, this is how to balance a budget

Just what this country needs. A $100,000,000 ballroom that gets used 3X a year. And it will be in that garish gold leaf he loves.

Yeah, right. Just like he was going to pay for his entire campaign in 2016.

No he isn't to my knowledge. The money is coming from (other) private donors.

President Trump, and other patriot donors, have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million dollar structure. The United States Secret Service will provide the necessary security enhancements and modifications.
I'm sure you'll bitch and moan somehow though

What I had read was that it was all other donors, that says that Trump was one of the donors as well, so good for him.

Our institutions should build more things of age worthy and classic beauty.
Churches, state buildings, so forth. Obviously we have to be financially prudent, but when there is a need, I think we should do it in a way that will stand the test of time and be something your grandkids will marvel at on a school trip.
Since this is privately funded, all the more.
