Gold leaf... everywhere!
The new ballroom (Now as you read this keep in the back of your mind, the DOGE cuts.)...
DeadlineBy Ted JohnsonJuly 31, 2025The White House unveiled plans for a new ballroom to be built on the East Wing, a project long desired by Donald Trump.Trump and other donors will fund the $200 million structure, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. She said Thursday that construction will start in September and be competed well before the end of Trump’s term.The ballroom stands to be one of the most significant changes to the public rooms in the White House complex since the late 1940s, when the Executive Mansion was gutted as part of a renovation to reinforce the original structure.Concerts, state dinners and other entertainment events have been held in the East Room or in an outdoor tent. The new ballroom will have a capacity of 650 people, compared to 200 in the East Room. The White House said the space will be “a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of innately designed and carefully crafted space.” It was unclear how the square footage was counted, as the East Room is just about 2,800 square feet.
The king will need the space for partying with all the big donors!
