Trump Unveils Historic White House Announcement
Trump Announces Plans to Add a Ballroom to the White House
President Donald Trump announced plans to add a new ballroom to the White House as part of broader renovation efforts.
The initiative was revealed during his Thursday night fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
The president described the upcoming structure as both “beautiful” and “magnificent,” emphasizing its aesthetic qualities during remarks to his supporters.
He framed the project as part of an effort to modernize and enhance the White House complex.
The ballroom will be used for hosting large-scale state events, including formal dinners and ceremonies.
Trump noted that it would allow for greater flexibility compared to the current East Room, which has size limitations.
Trump said the new ballroom would be built on the South Lawn and designed to match the historic look of the executive mansion. He emphasized that the architecture would respect the building’s original character.
The president also said he had discussed the plans with the National Park Service and the U.S. Secret Service, both of which reportedly gave their preliminary approval. Any major construction on White House grounds typically requires federal coordination.
He told donors that the new ballroom would serve both functional and symbolic purposes. Trump said the addition would enhance America’s global image when hosting foreign leaders.
The ballroom project is expected to be funded privately, with major donors contributing to the costs. Trump claimed this would spare taxpayers from bearing the financial burden, the Daily Mail reported.
The announcement came during a campaign fundraising event that reportedly raised over $10 million. Trump made the ballroom remarks while addressing a crowd of GOP donors and political allies.
During his speech, the president said the new addition would be “the most beautiful room in Washington.” He added that it would include elegant chandeliers, imported marble, and seating for hundreds.
Trump suggested the current White House event spaces are outdated and too small for the types of gatherings he envisions. The new ballroom would address those issues, he said.
He also mentioned previous presidents had considered building something similar but never followed through. Trump said his administration is committed to completing the project.
The ballroom would mark the first major structural addition to the White House in decades. Most changes to the executive mansion in recent years have been limited to restorations or interior redesigns.
Trump hinted that other renovations are also being considered, including modernizing certain offices and improving technological infrastructure. He did not offer specific timelines for those additional updates.
The White House did not provide architectural renderings or a start date for construction, but aides said more details would be released in the coming weeks. The General Services Administration is expected to oversee the project.
In closing his remarks, Trump said the ballroom would serve as a lasting legacy for the American people and a venue to showcase the nation’s best. He promised it would “reflect the greatness of our country.”
