US EditionTrump Hosts Ballroom Donors for White House Dinner
Nearly 130 donors pledged funds for a $250 million bulletproof-glass ballroom that will hold up to 999 people, replacing tents at large White House events.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump hosted a White House dinner for nearly 130 deep-pocketed donors, allies and company representatives to reward pledged contributions for a new ballroom.
- The ballroom, priced at $250 million, is billed as the most significant renovation of Trump's second term and will encompass 90,000 square feet on the East Wing to replace tents since the East Room fits about 200.
- Design plans call for all four sides of the ballroom to be bulletproof glass with White House design elements, and Trump said it will hold up to 999 people despite prior 650-person estimates.
- The project lacks approvals from the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, while White House staff secretary Will Scharf says approval is not needed and Trump asserted no zoning applies to him.
- Heavyweights on the guest list included corporate representatives from Amazon, Apple, Google, Lockheed Martin, Meta Platforms and GOP donors like the Adelson Family Foundation and Harold Hamm.
