Trump says 'military wanted' White House ballroom: 'That was supposed to be secret'​

President Trump says there’s a national security component to the construction of the White House ballroom that was “supposed to be secret.”

“Now it’s no secret, the military wanted it more than anybody,” Trump said of the construction of the ballroom Thursday during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.


“It was supposed to be secret, but it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things,” he said.

“But doesn’t matter, it’s going to be great,” the president added.

Trump ordered the East Wing of the White House to be demolished last year in order to construct a $400 million ballroom.

The president has frequently expressed the need for the 90,000-square-foot project, saying it’ll be utilized as a space for hosting state dinners, galas and other events with world leaders. The White House has said the ballroom is being funded by private donations.

During the remodeling and expansion of the East Wing in the 1940s and following the attack on Pearl Harbor, then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt directed a bomb shelter be constructed underneath the building, according to the White House Historical Association.

In January, CNN reported that the White House ballroom may include a “top-secret project” and that Trump was “rebuilding a secret bunker under the East Wing.”


The ballroom, which is expected to be completed by 2028, has triggered intense backlash from critics and faced significant legal challenges.

In December, the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued the Trump administration to stop construction of the ballroom until the White House obtained congressional approval and elicited a public comment period and multiple independent reviews.

“Everything I do, I get sued,” Trump said Thursday, pointing to the ballroom, as well as lawsuits involving the planned two-year closure of the Kennedy Center announced by Trump last month.

“I get sued over a ballroom that’s going to be the most beautiful ballroom in the country — so desperately needed,” Trump said.

“Everything I do, I get sued,” Trump

Here is a crazy thought but maybe he should just stop doing stuff that will get him sued.

Here’s all the INSANE things that Trump said at his cabinet meeting today:

On cognitive tests: “I aced it. I got them all right… President Obama, he wasn't a smart man. I know all about him. He wasn't a smart man. Highly overrated.”

On his post-presidency plans:
“After the presidency, I think I may go to Venezuela and run for president against Delcy. It's an option!”

On the missile allegedly shot at the US base at Diego Garcia:
"They shot the now-famous Ireland [sic]--- the island that the UK was very afraid to give us."

On his “big present” from Iran: “They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're gonna let you have eight boats of oil. Eight big boats of oil. I think they were Pakistani flagged.”

When Sec. Burgum told him about oil being brought to America:
“Forget that. When are they gonna do the statue of me?”

On energy prices:
"It's not over, so maybe it'll go up a little bit more. It's all gonna come back down to where it was and probably lower. And my predictions have been right. Trump was right about everything. They have a new hat."

On Iran:
“I'm the opposite of desperate. I don't care. In fact, we have other targets we want to hit!”

On using a mail-in ballot: "I used a mail-in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States and because of the fact that I'm President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot."

On the National Guard in DC:
"I never wanna take [the National Guard] out of D.C. I mean, maybe somebody later on will do it, but I never wanna…We see these beautiful, strong people, and they're so nice. They help, they open the doors for people, they carry bags, they pick up paper on the ground."

On the Strait of Hormuz: "The amazing thing is we don't need the Hormuz Strait. We don't need it. We don't need it at all. We have so much oil. Our country is not affected by this."

On pens: "See, this pen right here. This pen is an interesting example. It's the same thing. So this pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. But I can't have the pen the way it was. You know what it is. I don't want to give too much publicity but they do treat me well. Sharpie."
