From Trump the builder to Trump the president, the White House ballroom tells a story of redemption
Trump is building a 90,000-square-foot State Ballroom in the White House, a project he envisioned over 15 years ago. The East Wing was demolished to make way for the ballroom, marking the most radical structural change since the Truman-era reconstruction. The project, funded by private donors, is seen by critics as a symbol of Trump's presidency and by supporters as a long-overdue modernization.
