Democrats have slammed President Trump's privately funded ballroom construction

The White House pushed back on reports claiming President Donald Trump will likely name the upcoming White House ballroom after himself, saying any name designation for the event space will come directly from the president. 

"Any announcement made on the name of the ballroom will come directly from President Trump himself, and not through anonymous and unnamed sources," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital Friday. 

Reports spread like wildfire Friday afternoon that Trump planned to name the ballroom after himself, with ABC News publishing a report that administration officials were reportedly already calling the project "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom."

"I won't get into that now," Trump told ABC News Thursday when asked about a potential name, the outlet noted.

Trump announced Monday that construction had begun on the ballroom, after months of Trump touting the upcoming project to modernize the White House. The project does not cost taxpayers and is privately funded, the administration has repeatedly said. 

"For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American Taxpayer!" Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. "The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous Patriots, Great American Companies, and, yours truly. This Ballroom will be happily used for Generations to come!"

The Theodore Roosevelt Ballroom has a nice ring to it. Honors the guy who built the East Wing, draws a straight line between TR and maybe the next guy on Mt Rushmore.

I wouldn’t mind if he did. He can lend (?) his name to it and charge a fee just like all the buildings around the country with his name on them...You want to see a “real” uprising - LOL? Be worth paying admission to watch..I wonder how many dems have needed therapy for their rage against the president since 2024...

The Left wants to name it, “the Grand ANTIFA/BLM Ballroom of Anti-Trump Democratic Patriots”.

I just saw an AI generated video over on social media that supposed The rump ballroom was in operation in early 2028. It showed Trump and a whole bunch of other bigwigs inside having Wonderful meals and enjoying themselves, interspersed with shots of normal people or poor people Struggling to survive And making it look like the country was falling apart.
Toward the end of the video, it was showing people throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and things at the White House as if we were in the throes of a revolution.
The end of the video fast forwards to 100 years later and a teacher telling a group of kids that it was the “end of the 1st phase of democracy” as given by our Founding Fathers as nd “the beginning of healing”.

I don’t know what leftist jerks made this thing, but it made me sick.

There’s the Roosevelt Room and the Lincoln Bedroom, so I have no problem with the ballroom being called the Trump Ballroom. It just makes sense and follows already established traditions.

Ever since Trump was elected in 2016, the dems and their media mouthpieces have tried to convince the public that Trump is not a legitimate president, and therefore has no right to do any of the things that other presidents have done, nor to be honored in any way as President. Far too many have fallen under the spell of this brainwashing, freaking out any time Trump does something that is fully within his authority as President.

If the left hadn’t whined about him having the DC hotel just steps from the White House this wouldn’t even be an issue. The democrats create their own problems from their envy.
