Keep delaying it and all it’s going to do is end up costing the tax payers more. Instead of working on it, now time and money is spent on legal issues. We will remember this the next time you complain about government spending and taxes.

The only control Congress has over this is appropriations. If the work is being funded by some source other than Congress, they don't get a say (at least that's how I read 3 U.S.C. § 105).

He said it was gonna cost 250M, then it was 400M, then he requested 1B for it. So current cost is 1.4B?

He destroyed the east wing without the authority. The us tax payers are eventually gonna be required to pay for it.

We are paying for it and acknowledge that. Again you’re not acknowledging how a judge is only making it more expensive now.

not everyone had acknowledged that we're paying for it, Congress specifically hasn't. Most have been fooled into thinking Meta, Elon, etc were gonna pay for it. The 2 judges that ruled against him were just interpreting the law. This is trumps fault.

Trumps ballroom contruction order to halt



This is like, beyond fricking stupid. What a bunch of petty arse bullshite.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump should just become a Democrat. He could get EVERYTHING he's ever wanted done and those are the gangsters he needs to do it.

Its as much of an L as when democrats sued all but 1% of the DOGE cuts to tie them up in litigation so they could make the media rounds calling Elon and Trump failures. Its the same thing.

Your party is pond scum.

Will there finally be some justice against theses rogue judges?

text: (bolding mine)

quote:

Two Obama and Biden Appellate Court Judges just voted against the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, D.C., and our Country, itself. Highly Respected Judge, Neomi Rao, stated the following key points, among others, in a strongly worded dissent:? ?‘This was a blatant abuse of discretion…To begin with, the district court had no jurisdiction because the Trust has no standing to stop construction at the White House…[T]he balance of equities overwhelmingly favors the government.

The district court elevated the aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby over the government’s security interests in the ballroom and the security risks of leaving an open construction site at the President’s home and office…These errors in equitable judgment require vacating the injunction…The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach…Because the injunction is beyond the proper province of the federal courts, construction should be allowed to continue.’?

?The decision has been stayed, and does not take effect for a period of time. We will be immediately appealing to the United States Supreme Court. The Military and Secret Service are viewing this horrendous, politically motivated, and unlawful ruling as a National Security threat to our Nation in that the entire Complex is being built for the protection of our Country and, additionally, all future Presidents.

The single, integrated project includes Bomb Shelters, State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Facilities, Structures and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass. It is all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit, which is vital for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America! The Circuit Court’s decision, which is totally wrong on the vital subject of STANDING, of which the plaintiff has none, severely jeopardizes the lives and welfare of the people who work, and will be working, at the White House — including all future Presidents of the United States, and their families, as well as the lives of all those visiting, such as Heads of State and other Dignitaries, and all Americans who wish to visit the historic, beautiful Executive Mansion.

The Circuit Court also refused to acknowledge that the desperately needed, and totally secure Ballroom, which is being built ahead of schedule and under budget, is a Gift from President Trump and Great Patriots of the United States of America. The entire Complex, Military and all, is largely built, fabricated, and paid for.

Much is already on site, or being delivered. Why didn’t they bring this case long prior to construction starting? There will be no expense to the American Taxpayer. This unjust decision must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety. Thank you for your attention to this deeply important National Security matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

The President of the United States need congressional approval to build a ballroom next to the White House, but does not need congressional approval to launch a war against Iran.

Our constitution was divinely inspired and is working as intended.

Why do they care if donations are paying for it?
Are donations not paying for it?


Donations are not paying for all of it. The price of the ballroom skyrocketed so taxpayer funds from the Secret Service are being used to pay for about half of it. And don’t think for a second that the donors won’t be paid back is some way.
