Trump poised to name new White House ballroom after himself
US President Donald Trump is expected to attach his name to a newly constructed ballroom at the White House, according to media reports. Officials are already referring to the 90,000-square-foot venue as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom." The $300 million structure replaces the former East Wing as part of a major renovation project.
Trump Expected to Put His Name on New White House Ballroom
President Donald Trump is anticipated to have the new White House ballroom named in his honor, based on recent media accounts. Sources indicate that staff and officials involved with the project have already adopted the name "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom" for the sprawling 90,000-square-foot event space.
President Declines to Confirm Naming Decision
When questioned by reporters on Thursday, Trump sidestepped directly confirming the name. He opted not to provide details, stating, "I won't get into that now." The ballroom is a central feature of a extensive $300 million renovation. The project required the complete demolition of the previous East Wing, with construction images showing the site cleared for the new development.
Funding Exceeds Construction Costs
A White House official disclosed that fundraising for the renovation has been successful, with $350 million collected so far. The official cited "positive and overwhelming support" as the reason the president continues to receive donations. It was not clarified how the surplus $50 million, which exceeds the stated construction budget, will be allocated. On the topic of personal contribution, Trump claimed to have given "millions of dollars," adding that he directs his presidential salary to White House causes.
