Trump likely to name White House ballroom after himself, officials say

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump is likely to name his White House ballroom after himself, officials told ABC News.
  • This week, the East Wing of the White House was demolished to make way for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom amid the government shutdown.
  • Funded privately, the project received contributions from Amazon, Apple, Google, HP and Microsoft, with private donors raising $350,000,000, officials say.
  • Critics have condemned the demolition, with Patti Davis, 73, writing Friday that `The images we’ve now all seen of the East Wing being demolished are heartbreaking,`
  • The project will cost $300,000,000, the president said, and President Donald Trump hopes to use the ballroom for state dinners and other events before the end of his term in 2029, with historical precedent for White House alterations.
