Donald Trump’s $200 million plan to build a new White House ballroom is facing heavy criticism. Opponents are labeling the project as a ‘vanity-driven waste’ and raising questions about who will pay for what some are calling ‘Trump’s Palace’. Construction is set to start in September, marking the first significant structural addition since the Truman Balcony was built in 1948. Trump defends the project by saying the existing space is too small for large state events, but many citizens are calling for transparency and see the extravagant renovation as out of touch amid current economic challenges.
