President Donald Trump blasted the “obstructionists and troublemakers” who have filed a lawsuit against the construction of a White House ballroom, declaring that it is “too late” to stop the project now.
The president, responding on Truth Social to the lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, noted that the $300 million ballroom was being financed through private donations and was a “gift” to the nation.
“Making such a large gift to the U.S.A. was thought to be, by almost everyone, ‘A WONDERFUL THING TO DO’ — But no, as usual, I got sued, this time by the Radical Left National (No!)Trust for Historic Preservation, a group that couldn’t care less about our Country!” Trump wrote.
Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 11:31 AM EST 01.25.26
I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money, and working closely…

Trump went on to explain how building materials have been ordered for the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom and “there is no practical or reasonable way to go back.”
“IT IS TOO LATE! Why didn’t these obstructionists and troublemakers bring their baseless lawsuit much earlier?” he asked in his post. “Congress never tried, or wanted, to stop the Ballroom Project! Everyone knew what was taking place at the White House — A great, big, beautiful gift to the United States of America!”
“The so-called ‘preservationists,’ who get their money from the most unusual of places, should not be allowed to stop this desperately needed addition to our GREAT White House, a place that a President has never needed permission to change or enhance, because of the special grounds on which it sits, no matter how big (and important!), that enhancement may be,” he continued.
“Additionally, in this instance, it is being done with the design, consent, and approval of the highest levels of the United States Military and Secret Service. The mere bringing of this ridiculous lawsuit has already, unfortunately, exposed this heretofore Top Secret fact,” Trump added.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is seeking to pause the construction, filing its lawsuit in mid-December in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
“The White House is arguably the most evocative building in our country and a globally recognized symbol of our powerful American ideals. As the organization charged with protecting places where our history happened, the National Trust was compelled to file this case,” Carol Quillen, president and CEO of the organization, said in a statement. “Submitting the project to the National Capital Planning Commission for review protects the iconic historic features of the White House campus as it evolves. Inviting comments from the American people signals respect and helps ensure a lasting legacy that befits a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
