Trump says White House needs 'military complex' as courts block his ballroom
President Donald Trump initially insisted that he needed to build a White House ballroom to entertain VIP guests. The president and his deputies have lately focused on a different argument: It's crucial for national security.
The "desperately needed National Security structure" must be completed, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Friday night, hours after administration officials asked the Supreme Court to let them finish the controversial project.
