Trump Is Big Mad Over Judge's Stalling Of White House Ballroom ProjectPresident Donald Trump went on yet another tantrum Thursday after a federal judge signed an order to keep blocking above-ground construction of his $400 million White House ballroom project.U.S. District Judge Richard Leon's ruling still allows for below-ground work on the site's "national security facilities," after an appeals court asked him to clarify his earlier ruling that said halting construction would not jeopardize national security. Still, Trump said that the new ruling is "unlawful and ambiguous." He went on to list specific national security elements apparently being built or added to below ground, including "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass.""The underground portion is wedded to, and serves, the upper portion," Trump claimed.The East Wing of the White House was quickly demolished last fall to make space for the enormous ballroom, which will dwarf the residential part of the building. "Too much hard work, time, and money spent in order that a Judge can claim that he ruled against 'DONALD TRUMP,' something which I have gotten very used to, BUT WILL NOT ACCEPT!" the president posted on Truth Social.Thursday's ruling was welcomed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which filed the lawsuit over the ballroom project on behalf of board member Alison Hoagland. Trump bizarrely described her as "a woman walking her dog," likely referring to her claim that the project disturbs people's walks.See All UpdatesClose
