President Donald Trump began his Sunday by using the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to demand that opposition to his planned ballroom “immediately” be dropped.
The 79-year-old president took to Truth Social to rage against the lawsuit holding up his East Wing eyesore, claiming the “ridiculous” legal challenge was brought by a “woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit.”
He then demanded that the suit, which was actually brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, be dropped. A federal judge ruled last month that the $400 million ballroom project can’t continue without congressional approval, though he said actions necessary for the “safety and security” of the White House were an exception—leading Trump and his allies to begin framing the construction as a matter of national security.
