Supreme Court Allows Trump’s $400 Million White House Ballroom to Proceed The Supreme Court's 5 4 decision allowing Donald Trump to proceed with construction of his $400 million White House ballroom is a stark reminder that, in America, the pursuit of legacy often trumps constitutional principle.
The project's proponents claim it will be "the greatest ever constructed in Washington, D. C. " – a monument to presidential grandeur, rather than a symbol of democratic values.
Critics have long argued that the sheer scale and location of the ballroom would diminish the primacy of the White House, compromising its historic integrity.
