Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a ballroom with an estimated cost of $400 million. This decision generated controversy and significant criticism. The former president justified the need for the ballroom, arguing that it would be used for state dinners, galas, and other important events with world leaders.
The project, according to the White House, is funded by private donations, and it is speculated that it could include a "secret project," according to CNN reports earlier this year.
