Trump Blasts Appeals Court for Halting White House Ballroom Construction, Claiming Decision Is a 'National Security Threat' The US federal appeals court decision to halt construction of Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom has sparked controversy surrounding the former president's ego driven projects.
This incident is more than just a petty squabble over architectural tastes; it's a symptom of a deeper issue: the normalization of executive power and disregard for constitutional norms.
Trump claims that the court's decision is a "National Security Threat at the highest level. " However, this assertion is laughable, given the ballroom's lack of vital national defense components.
