    Construction began Monday on the new $250 million White House ballroom, a passion project of President Donald Trump.

    Trump is lending his lifetime of experience in real estate business to construct the ballroom, the future site of important state functions, such as parties and receptions for visiting foreign dignitaries. The president announced that ground had been broken on the project in a post on Truth Social.

    "I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom. Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being fully modernized as part of this process, and will be more beautiful than ever when it is complete!" said the president.

    "For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway - with zero cost to the American Taxpayer!" he added.

    Construction of the ballroom is being funded by the president and through private donations, with no money from the U.S. taxpayer.

    With the addition of the ballroom, Trump becomes just the latest president to make major renovations to the White House grounds. Former President Barack Obama made the last major renovation in 2009 when turned the White House tennis court into a basketball court.


    In remarks at an event for ballroom donors last week, the president said that the new ballroom would be constructed to match the architecture of the White House grounds, and include more modern features such as bulletproof glass.

    "We're going to have a phenomenal ballroom. It's going to be one of the best anywhere in the world. There won't be anything like it, actually," the president said. "It's four sides of glass, beautiful glass, but totally appropriate in color and in window shape and everything else with the White House moldings, so it's going to be very much in keeping with the White House."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
