In a post on social media, the president wrote that "the entire Complex is being built for the protection of our Country," before promising to "immediately" appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"This decision, made after much of the work has been done and paid for, is a National Security Threat at the highest level. It is also a National Disgrace," the president later added.
The judges rejected the administration's national security argument and said the president does not have the authority to make such major alterations to the White House without congressional approval.
Also, more to the point/
The president publicly shared a wide array of features he intends to include in the project's final form in a social media post Friday.
Trump said the 90,000 square foot building would include "Bomb Shelters, State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Facilities, Structures and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass."
The president has also said a drone port will be put on the roof, posting AI-generated images on social media of armed guards, military vehicles and a fleet of drones atop the ballroom.
"It is all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit, which is vital for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America!" the president wrote.
Trump defends $400M price tag for White House ballroom construction project
Underground work on strictly security-related features, like the "top secret military facilities" or the "bomb shelters" referenced in Trump's post, is allowed to continue.
Friday's ruling will not take effect for two weeks. Trump is expected to appeal the case.
Even if the Supreme Court does not side with Trump, the current legal ruling allows "below-ground construction of national security facilities, work necessary to provide for presidential security, and construction necessary to protect and secure the White House and the construction site itself."
Following gunshots at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April, Trump spoke to reporters, arguing that the ballroom must be built to protect future presidents at similar events.
Not out-of-line to assume he'll take over at some point, become dictator, and use this POS to protect his misrule..
SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR!
