'Tremendous work has been done!': Trump celebrates progress on his New ballroom following the Supreme Court's approval

President Donald Trump celebrated progress on the White House ballroom project on Saturday, one day after the Supreme Court temporarily allowed construction to continue. "Tremendous work has been done on the magnificent BALLROOM/MILITARY COMPLEX being built on the grounds of the White House!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, alongside a photo of the construction site.

According to several media outlets, contractor documents from March 2025 showed that a significant portion of the funds used to finance the project could come from taxpayers, while the rest would come from private donations. In his post, Trump dismissed those concerns and reiterated that construction is progressing faster than expected and remains on budget, asserting that "The Ballroom will be paid for with ZERO Dollars of Taxpayer Money. Great American Patriots and Companies are footing the entire bill."

The president's remarks came a day after Chief Justice John Roberts authorized the conservative administration to resume construction of the White House Ballroom temporarily. The order followed the government's emergency appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after the court ruled that Trump lacked congressional authorization to proceed with the project.

Regarding the Supreme Court's intervention, Attorney General Todd Blanche welcomed the decision and said this during an interview on Fox News: "There has been a need for a ballroom, a secure space, and a military facility on the White House grounds for decades, and President Trump has addressed that. And so, we will continue to allow the process to move forward through the courts, but we are grateful to have obtained this stay yesterday, and we will continue building."
