“Since Donald Trump flattened the East Wing last October, his justification for building a White House ballroom has evolved considerably. Originally, the president suggested he needed a place to throw killer parties. But after the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to stop the project, Trump reframed it as a necessary national security upgrade,” New York Magazine reports.
“Now, with the U.S. Supreme Court set to rule on whether building can proceed without congressional approval, President Trump has rolled out yet another defense: He showed the plans to George Washington, and he’s totally into it!
“Friday night on Truth Social, Trump posted a series of images that show him giving Washington, who has been dead for 226 years, a tour of the White House ballroom, which does not exist yet.”
