You can be a Republican and still say this is wrong.
Court filings include renderings with gold presidential seals planned for the facade.
The request escalates a months-long legal fight over the project.

The plan breaks with the White House’s restrained design tradition.

This is attention spent on a personal venue, not the work families ask government to do.
At the same time, lawmakers have asked the Pentagon to investigate companies backed by the Trump family.
It is the same concern: public power mixed with companies backed by the Trump family.
If you think public service should keep the focus on your family and your town, this should bother you.
You do not have to change parties to push back on this kind of excess.
You can vote for normal, clean priorities in 2026 and keep your conservative beliefs.
When leaders pour time and legal muscle into a vanity project, they tell you who comes first.
Believe them, then act.
- Share this with a center-right friend who is tired of vanity politics
- Call your representative and ask for public hearings on the White House ballroom project
- Plan your 2026 vote to check this behavior
- Check your voter registration at Vote.gov
Countdown
The 2026 midterms are in 75 days.
