Trump celebrates judge decision to allow completion of White House ballroom

President Donald Trump on Thursday celebrated a court decision to throw out a challenge to his construction of a ballroom at the White House.

"Great news for America, and our wonderful White House! The Judge on the case of what will be the most beautiful Ballroom anywhere in the World, has just thrown out, and completely erased, the effort to stop its construction," Trump posted on Truth Social. "As everyone knows, not one dollar of Taxpayer money is being spent, but rather, all money necessary to build this magnificent building is being put up by Patriot Donors and Contributors."

"The Ballroom construction, which is anticipated to also handle future Inaugurations and large State Visits, is ahead of schedule, and under budget. It will stand long into the future as a symbol to the Greatness of America!" he concluded.

A group of historical preservationists had challenged Trump's construction of the ballroom, seeking a court-ordered stay on the project until it secured congressional approval.
