Trump’s White House Ballroom: A Design of Ego and Alleged Grift
Construction on the new White House annex, slated to more than double the size of the existing structure, has faced immediate criticism. Plans for the East Wing ballroom reveal architectural flaws such as misaligned windows and stairs leading to nowhere. Demolition of the existing building has been met with outrage, and the project has bypassed standard review procedures. Critics express concern over the president’s disregard for the historic site and the lack of transparency surrounding the project, which is set to be completed in 2029.
