Trump's Latest Reason for His New Ballroom: A Rooftop 'DronePort'
Trump says the project would add counter-drone defenses and a six-floor underground bunker as lawsuits challenge the ballroom plan.
- On Sunday, May 31, President Donald Trump claimed his $400 million White House Ballroom project will double as a "droneport" in the heart of the nation's capital, arguing it is critical to security.
- District Judge Richard Leon issued an injunction in April halting construction after ruling Trump lacked legal authority without Congress approval. Trump wrote Sunday the judge should be "held responsible for the Death and Destruction" if the project remains stalled.
- During a recent tour with Lara Trump, the president noted the structure "goes down six floors" and claimed it will be the "most secure facility ever built" to defend the capital.
- Former CIA official Larry Pfeiffer questioned the project's transparency, asking, "Why in the world is Trump advertising White House defensive capabilities?" amid operational concerns about protocols and implementation.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche filed motions arguing the project is essential for presidential safety, as the Justice Department continues to challenge the injunction that halted above-ground construction.
