"The ballroom is really the president's main priority at this moment in time." ~Karoline Leavitt

"Americans oppose Trump’s White House ballroom by 2-to-1 ratio, new poll finds." (Of course what Americans want does not matter.)

"While Trump initially insisted (lied) the project would not interfere with the existing White House structure, the administration has now fully demolished the East Wing of the White House,
historically home to the first lady’s office and other reception rooms."

"The administration has solicited donations (unethical bribes) from several dozen high-profile Trump donors, including two Cabinet officials, multiple billionaire investors and some of the biggest tech and crypto companies in Silicon Valley to pay for the renovation."

"Trump also ousted six commissioners on Tuesday who sat on a panel responsible for advising on planning federal projects and memorials in Washington, including White House renovations."
