WASHINGTON: President Trump used the shooting at a ceremony in Washington on Sunday to push his plan to build a giant ballroom next to the White House, which has faced legal challenges.“What happened last night is the same reason why our great military, the Secret Service, law enforcement and, for different reasons, every president for the last 150 years, are demanding that a larger, safer and more secure ballroom be built on the grounds of the White House,” Trump wrote on the Truth social platform.The $400 million ballroom has become a passion project for Trump. In his Sunday post, Trump praised the security features of the proposed ballroom. “This incident would never have happened with the Military Top Secret Ballroom under construction at the White House,” Trump wrote.“It couldn’t be built that fast! It has every top level safety feature while still being beautiful.”
