But the president has spent months championing construction of a lavish state ballroom, which only seems to be getting new additions by the month.<\/p>\n<p>The project was announced last year with a price tag of $200 million. <\/p>\n<p>However, Cark Construction, the contractor hired for the ballroom, informed the White House on March 5 that the project had increased to $600 million, according to a project summary obtained by the Washington Post, with $293 million of that amount coming from \u201cprivate sources<\/p>\n<p>This not only means the project has ballooned significantly, but that taxpayers are likely to foot part of the bill, despite the White House repeatedly insisting this would not happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many times did Trump say zero taxpayer dollars would go to his gilded ballroom?\u201d Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, D-Massachusetts, said in a post on X. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lied. Every time. But still not a dime to help lower costs for families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also admitted that the ballroom is just a \u201cshield\u201d for what\u2019s being quietly built underneath: a multi-level fortress with a military hospital, research facilities and top secret meeting rooms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best thing and the biggest thing we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re building a ballroom, and a tremendous military center,\u201d Trump bragged during his Rose Garden lunch on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was supposed to be top secret, but it\u2019s no longer top secret, because whatever you do you get sued.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThey sue because they think the ballroom\u2019s too big, the ballroom\u2019s too small, \u2018I don\u2019t like the color of the ceiling\u2019.
