'IT IS TOO LATE' — Trump explodes after lawsuit targets $400 million White House ballroom

Former President Donald Trump strongly defended his plan to construct a new ballroom at the White House, estimated to cost between $300 million and $400 million, emphasizing that it would be entirely funded by private donations. He described the project as a “great, big, beautiful gift” to the United States and a long-overdue upgrade for state events, addressing security and capacity concerns. Trump asserted that the project has the full backing of the military and Secret Service, with materials already ordered, stating, “IT IS TOO LATE!” to stop it.

The defense comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which Trump labeled as a politically motivated attack by the “Radical Left.” The lawsuit alleges that the project unlawfully fast-tracked construction without proper legal and environmental reviews, violating the Administrative Procedures Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The Trust argues that the project requires formal design reviews, environmental assessments, and congressional deliberation.

Trump countered these claims by asserting that presidents have broad authority to modify the White House and that previous administrations had sought a similar venue. He also claimed the project addresses safety concerns related to temporary structures used for state events and revealed a previously “Top Secret” security aspect that would be compromised by halting construction.
