Americans remain starkly divided on whether President Donald Trump should be allowed to build a ballroom on the site of the White House’s East Wing, according to people who spoke with Fox News Digital last week.
Trump has called the ballroom an improvement and a necessity for the White House, arguing it would help avoid another near-death experience for himself, the press and dignitaries after a gunman charged into the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in May.
„No, definitely not,“ Frank of Kansas City, Missouri, said of the ballroom project’s necessity.

„Tearing down the East Wing without all proper authorizations was improper. The way the money is being raised is improper, so I’m ‘no’ to all of it.“
Frank appeared to allude to the litigation the administration is fighting to keep its project afloat.

Danisha from Washington, however, said she approved of the new project in her hometown.
She professed to be an ardent supporter of Trump’s and said he deserves to have a ballroom.
„I think the White House definitely should use the ballroom to be beautiful and nice. Because, I think that the president should be able to have fun and invite people to the ballroom,“ she said.
Sherry and Bill from Knoxville sided with the president on the project:
Bill called the U.S. the „greatest country in the world“ and therefore a ballroom for the president is a great idea.

„It’s brilliant,“ Sherry added. „We need it.“
„Who cares who’s in the administration, Democrat or Republican? They’re gonna use the ballroom,“ Bill said. Sherry noted the ballroom is privately funded, suggesting that aspect should assuage tax-sensitive critics.
Meanwhile, Chuck from Washington called the ballroom a „horrible idea“ in the present and in the future.
„There’s so much more we have to tackle. And building a ballroom should not be a priority one or a priority two,“ he said.
As of Monday, the Supreme Court allowed construction to proceed as litigation makes its way through the appeals process, with plaintiffs seeking relief from the high court if it chooses to hear the full case, according to reports.
