Trump Plans to Name New White House Ballroom After Himself

President Donald Trump is expected to name the newly constructed $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials. The venue is already being referred to as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom" within the administration. While the president has not publicly confirmed the name, he is known for branding his construction projects with his own name. When asked about the ballroom's name, Trump responded, "I won't get into that now." The East Wing was demolished to accommodate the 90,000-square-foot ballroom. A White House official stated that $350 million has been raised for the project, with construction costs currently estimated at $300 million. The official did not specify plans for the additional $50 million raised. When questioned about his personal financial contribution, Trump stated, "Oh, millions of dollars. Yeah. Well, I also give, you know, I give a lot of money to the White House. The White House is, as you know, I give my salary, and I usually like to steer it to the White House because this house was a little bit abandoned."
