Is the new White House ballroom a long-overdue national security upgrade or a taxpayer-funded betrayal of public trust?

The Spin


Spending at least $300 million in taxpayer money on a ballroom — after promising the public wouldn't pay a dime — is a betrayal of trust that should alarm anyone. The Supreme Court's reprieve doesn't make the project legitimate. The White House belongs to all Americans, and this vanity project is a blatant violentviolation of the separation of powers that the Court has decided to enable.

The White House ballroom is a legitimate national security upgrade that presidents have sought for over a century, and the Supreme Court was right to let construction continue. SCOTUS issued a stunning rebuke to lower courts that overstepped their powers to frustrate the president and this project, which he has every right to undertake. Desperately needed upgrades should not be held hostage by activists.
