From the article:
"The construction plans for the new ballroom will be submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission "at the appropriate time and hoping to do so soon," a White House official told CBS News on Wednesday.
Private donors have fully funded the ballroom, which is currently estimated to cost $250 million, the president said. It's expected to be completed before Mr. Trump's term ends."
Trump's taste tends towards shiny stuff, like gold plated this and that. Tradition be dammed, he's gonna build what he likes and history be dammed.
And those private donors ain't coughin' up all that $$$ without expecting something in return. Don't be surprised if those who got get more and those who don't can eat Trump Taco's.
