Trump turns White House ballroom into a fortified 'military complex' to pressure courts and Congress
TL;DR Summary
Trump’s plan for an ornate White House ballroom has evolved into a heavily fortified underground bunker and rooftop “military complex.” Courts have stalled progress without congressional approval, and the Supreme Court is set to weigh in as the project’s bill for security upgrades balloons in cost from about $200 million to $400 million (with estimates higher). The DOJ argues the security features are essential to protect the president, while Trump publicizes the fight and presses for expedited federal action amid a high-stakes political and legal battle.
