US EditionMichael Reagan: Tearing Down Trump's Ballroom
Karoline Leavitt said Trump prioritizes a $300 million, 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom amid a government shutdown and criticism from political rivals.
- On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing that `At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority`.
- With the government in its fourth week of shutdown, President Donald Trump has shifted focus to foreign policy and costly White House renovations, including demolishing the East Wing.
- Reporting describes the ballroom project as a 90,000 square foot, $300,000,000 endeavor, while Democratic lawmakers and rapid-response staff mocked it and Chuck Schumer posted `Honestly, you can’t make this s--- up`.

- Social media turned Leavitt’s comment into viral criticism as advocates warned 22,000,000 people face premium hikes, highlighting the Affordable Care Act’s role amid the shutdown.
