Donald Trump hosted the press for a tour of the construction site of the future ballroom at the White House on Tuesday, May 19. The cost is approaching $400 million.

Donald Trump is always enthusiastic when talking about his projects. The future ballroom at the White House that he wanted makes him happy. He sees it as “a gift to the United States of America.” He claims it will be “one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed in the country.”

Against the backdrop of construction noise, the American president showed the press around the site in Washington on Tuesday, May 19. He displayed images of the future building, with a facade inspired by Greek and Roman designs. Trump was not shy about sharing details about the concrete used, glass thickness, and the planned anti-drone base on the roof.

While addressing questions from journalists about the project’s high cost, Donald Trump stated, “This money comes from me and my donors. I funded its construction with the support of many patriots. We are donating. It’s a donation. It will not be paid by the taxpayer.” However, the security of the structure will be funded by public funds. The cost of the project is nearing $400 million.

Context: Donald Trump’s ambitious project for the future ballroom at the White House has raised questions about its funding and use of public money.

Fact Check: The cost of the construction project is estimated to be close to $400 million, with Trump insisting that the funds come from private donations rather than taxpayer money.

Exclusive: The Republicans have proposed legislation that includes allocating $1 billion to the Secret Service, with $220 million designated for the ballroom’s security.

Update: A Senate parliamentarian advisor has indicated that public funds allocated in a budget reconciliation plan cannot be used to finance the ballroom’s security, leading to a setback for Trump.

Insight: The future ballroom will cater to receptions and host meeting rooms and a military hospital. Delivery to the tenant, Donald Trump, is expected in “six or seven months.” Trump has expressed his love for luxury, stating that it will be the most beautiful ballroom in the world.

Note: The future ballroom is projected to be three times larger than the White House and slightly larger than a football field, providing space for 650 to 1000 guests. Some specialists raise concerns about visibility due to large columns inside the building, which will stand at a height of 20 meters.
