New Trump White House ballroom may have a very familiar name: report

As some on the left break ranks on President Donald Trump’s White House improvements, a new report suggested who the chief executive has in mind when it comes time to name the ballroom.

Between the reality checks on previous White House construction and the roasting of Democrat administrations that tainted the grounds with literal sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, the left had once again demonstrated the secular to be their sacred. Now, in a move likely to ignite a holy war of hyperbole, ABC News cited senior administration officials in claiming the new East Wing could be named for Trump himself.

“President Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials,” reported ABC. “Already, officials are referring to it as ‘The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom.’ That name will likely stick, ABC News was told.”

While the president had responded, “I won’t get into that now,” when asked about naming by ABC News’ Mary Bruce, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital on Friday, “Any announcement made on the name of the ballroom will come directly from President Trump himself, and not through anonymous and unnamed sources.”

Much like how the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was deemed by the left to be the “worst attack on democracy since the Civil War,” the latest privately funded project at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue led by Trump had talking heads across corporate media crying over the building, with one extreme case likening an image to the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 after one of the terrorist-flown planes had crashed into it.

Of course, not everyone on the left was following the narrative marching orders to mourn over the addition to the People’s House that had previously been defiled by scandals, including topless gender ideologues raising their own banner on the grounds like a conquering nation.

Joining “Sunrise on The Hill” on Friday, former first lady Jill Biden’s onetime press secretary, Michael LaRosa, expressed a measured reaction to the construction.

“It’s sad. I had a really wonderful office that I squatted in an hour or two after the inauguration ended, and remained there for nearly two years,” said LaRosa. “It’s heartbreaking, and I’m sentimental about it and sad. At the same time, I think every first family, every president should play a role in evolving the White House and updating it and modernizing it and sometimes expanding it.”

“I don’t think there’s any question that a ballroom is probably needed,” added the former spokesperson.

LaRosa wasn’t alone in holding a non-partisan reaction to the project, as known racial hoaxer Shaun King took a break from cheerleading for New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s (D) New York City mayoral campaign to express, “I actually think it’s a great idea to build a big ballroom on the White House grounds.”

“It’s virtually impossible to hold events of any size there and they are always wasting millions on tents and heaters and chairs and lights and everything else,” he went on before slamming the crocodile tears of the left. “Stop acting like you have some emotional attachment to the East Wing. You don’t.”

Stop acting like you have…
