Trump was so funny....Thanked the "Future King" for the $600 billion investment...and then, sheepishly said...it would be nice if it was a trillion.

Half an hour later, it was a trillion.

So Trump.....Only Trump.

Grok:

Expected Completion Date
No precise month or year beyond a broad target has been officially announced. All available statements from the White House and reporting indicate the ballroom is planned to be completed before the end of President Trump’s second term in January 2029 — often phrased as “long before” or simply “before” the term ends. Some experts quoted in coverage (e.g., The New York Times) have called a pre-2029 finish “optimistic” given the project’s size and complexities.

Contrast this with Biden and Dems insulting MBS for the last 10 years. Partly over the puke Khashoggi affair, who was an ally of Saudi fundamentalists. MBS is the man who drove Saudi fundies out of power. He replaced those idiots.

Once the outside goes up, I'm sure work will progress 24/7.

This is Trump's baby...It'll be done before he's out of Office...What a legacy.

Trump has changed the world.

What are the chances he gets it built before the The 250th anniversary of the United States, also known as the Semiquincentennial, which will be celebrated on July 4, 2026, marking the adoption of the Declaration of Independence

"Inside Trump’s Lavish State Dinner"
"Lavish"? I would expect lavish from the White House of the most powerful nation on earth for a visit with MBS from Saudi Arabia bringing $600 Billion Dollars and updated to ONE TRILLION Dollars in direct investment in our USA prompted by a quip from our wonderful President.

Don't know why but I wasn't invited. Lavish? Please give me a break.

Just as an aside, I would not be surprised to see a rather large ballroom opening Christmas 2026. He's a builder. Top priority. Head of the line. ;-)

Where was Beckham?

Is he (or his Spice Girls wife) an inveterate TDS sufferer? Preventing “detente”?

They say you can get two of three of fast, inexpensive, and high-quality, but not all three.

Knowing Trump, number three is non-negotiable.

You’ve surmised number one.

So costs would inevitably skyrocket.

Trump giving Elon Musk a pat as he enters the room is the one relationship the entire free thinking World wants to see restored.

President Trump has a lifetime record of maximizing all three. He finds opportunities others missed, often because the politics are preventing the obvious opportunities.

The ballroom is being funded with private donations, so it is able to bypass a lot of political impediments.

“What are the chances he gets it built before the ... Semiquincentennial,”

I’d say that chances are good. It’s one enormous room with a few ancillary rooms (kitchens, restrooms, etc.) so plumbing, electrical, framing, shouldn’t be complicated. Fussy woodwork, and gilding the lily could take the most time.

I tried to find a photo of what tacky outfit Lauren Sanchez would choose to wear to see if she was hanging out her ta tas for the middle eastern prince but couldn’t find one. Grok misidentified her in a photo with Ronoldo. Not enough plastic surgery and fake boobs not hanging out.

Probably the most talented and famous soccer star of all time was there, Ronaldo, whose Portuguese father named him after Ronald Reagan.
