Of course, this lawsuit had to be filed. Trump fraudulently claimed the ballroom wouldn't touch the White House and that he'd personally fund it, yet demolition proceeded without required approval. Private corporate donations for naming rights on federal property violate appropriations powers, preservation laws, and potentially the Emoluments Clause, while also circumventing congressional authority.

This lawsuit is absurd. President Trump's privately funded White House ballroom is coming after centuries of presidential renovations. The lawsuit ignores that the White House is exempt from historic preservation requirements. From Madison to Truman, presidents have always adapted the building. This upgrade serves modern diplomatic needs while respecting classical design and is an example of perfectly legitimate stewardship.
