Trump says he doesn't plan to name White House ballroom after himself
The $300 million White House ballroom will hold about 1,000 people and is funded by Trump and tech firms, with no plans to name it after the president, he said.
- On Oct. 24, President Donald Trump said he doesn't plan to name the new $300 million ballroom after himself, telling reporters at the White House the naming report was false.
- According to ABC News reporting, administration officials were likely to dub the space 'The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom', and the ballroom's cost had escalated by 50%.
- At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the East Wing was torn down to create a 90,000-square-foot event space that will hold roughly 1,000 people and dwarf the rest of the White House in size.
- The White House said the renovation is funded by Trump and tech firms including Google, Meta and Coinbase, while organizers say they have raised over $350 million from over three dozen contributors.
- Construction timing and dramatic photos prompted public pushback as construction began at the end of the third week of a government shutdown, with Chelsea Clinton criticizing the East Wing demolition as 'wrecking' history.
