Trump Announces Plans for New White House Ballroom

On June 6, 2025, President Donald Trump announced plans to construct a new ballroom at the White House. In a post on Truth Social, he stated:

“Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House. For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself.”

Trump emphasized his personal expertise in construction, suggesting that previous administrations lacked the experience to undertake such a project. He added that the ballroom would be a “wonderful addition” to the White House and that it would be built quickly.

This announcement comes amid a period of heightened activity on Trump’s Truth Social account. Since his second inauguration, he has posted over 2,260 times, averaging about 17 posts per day. His posts often include policy announcements, personal reflections, and, at times, controversial statements.
