At White House Hanukkah Reception, Trump Says Congress Is Becoming Antisemitic

Trump highlighted a $400 million White House ballroom project, criticized rising antisemitism in Congress, and honored recent victims of antisemitic attacks during a Hanukkah event.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump warned Congress is becoming antisemitic at the White House Hanukkah event and unveiled fresh details of a $400M White House ballroom project.
  • Trump framed his remarks as a warning about declining pro-Israel influence in Washington and cited recent attacks on Jewish people, including October 7, 2023, and Bondi Beach, Australia.
  • Trump honored Bondi Beach Chanukah attack victims and brought Miriam Adelson, conservative pro-Israel mega-donor, to the podium as his 'number one' supporter; attendees chanted while Adelson joked about funding another run with $250 million.
  • A National Park Service report and preservationists warned demolishing the East Wing would harm historic grounds, while officials say renovations would add about 90,000 square feet and may finish in 2028.
  • Looking to the future, Trump praised the recent ceasefire with Hamas that returned hostages and vowed to move it into a second phase in early 2026, blaming universities for anti-Israel sentiment and saying Harvard 'will pay a lot of money' amid settlement talks.
