President Donald Trump is reportedly locked in a bizarre standoff with the architect he personally tapped to design a new White House ballroom—because the president wants it even bigger than the White House itself.
The push to supersize the already massive addition has triggered weeks of friction behind closed doors, according to four people familiar with the conversations who spoke anonymously to the Washington Post.
Only in Trump’s second-term makeover could a 90,000-square-foot ballroom—already larger than the 55,000-square-foot mansion it’s attached to—be considered too small, and architect James McCrery II has urged restraint, the insiders said.
