Trump Plans to Appeal Court Decision on White House Ballroom

Trump Plans to Appeal Court Decision on White House Ballroom
After a court stopped the construction of the White House ballroom, Trump said he will appeal to the US Supreme Court.
Trump wrote on social media that the court's decision was wrong and unfair. He thinks it was motivated by politics.
The court's decision puts the lives of people working at the White House at risk, including future presidents and their families, Trump said. He also mentioned visitors like heads of state and Americans who want to see the historic building.
Trump accused the court of not recognizing that the ballroom is a gift from him and other patriots. It's being built ahead of schedule and under budget.
Trump warned that stopping the ballroom construction could harm national security.
The White House is building a new ballroom and helipad in Washington, D.C.
Trump said there will be no cost to American taxpayers. He wants the Supreme Court to overturn the decision.
A court upheld a decision to stop construction on the 90,000-square-foot ballroom project, which replaced the old East Wing.
The court allowed work to continue on underground security facilities and safety measures.
The appeals court said Congress, not the president, should decide on building a big ballroom.
Trump showed off a design for a $400 million presidential ballroom at the White House.
Some Republicans might pay for Trump's ballroom, while some Democrats are open to discussing the idea.
Judges said there's no precedent for a president doing what Trump did with the White House.
The judges wrote that they know of no instance in American history where a president unilaterally demolished parts of the White House.
The judges said their ruling doesn't prevent the president from building the ballroom if Congress approves it in the future.
The US Supreme Court might review the case.
