Trump's plan for White House ballroom sparks outrage from his critics [View all]

(The Hill) President Trump’s plans to add a massive $200 million ballroom to the White House is angering critics, who see him moving forward with the long-sought project as part of his desire to leave a lasting mark not only on the office of the presidency but the first house as well.

The construction of the ballroom, the cost of which the White House says will be covered by Trump and other donors, will begin in September.

Trump is also paving the White House Rose Garden (though the rose bushes will be saved), which the White House says is necessary so people can walk more easily for events held in the space.
