Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials.

Already, officials are referring to it as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom." That name will likely stick, ABC News was told.

Trump has not publicly said what he intends to name the ballroom, but he is known for branding his construction projects after himself -- and it appears this project will be no different.

new $300 million White House ballroom

Wasn't it $200 million a week ago? Did they do a proper procurement with the right building specification or they're just eyeballing the price because anyway they asked the president's friend to build it with the ~~bribe~~ "donation" money and they're "uh yes we need another $100 mil "donation" to finish it"

My personal conspiracy theory is that they aren’t building a 300 million dollar ballroom, they are building a 275 million dollar new secret bunker with a 25 million dollar ballroom on top.

As far as I've heard, they don't even have any blueprints or permits.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

It'll have to be torn down anyway if there's ever a new administration. There's no way of knowing how many listening devices and spyware there may or may not be built into it.

Ah yes the Epstein Ballroom

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Democrats should officially rename it to "The Trump and Epstein Ballroom" before demolishing it. :)

Fox news wouldn't know how to report that news.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Seriously. I sure hope Taco is around to see it. :)

Highly likely his kids Uday and Qusay will be around, as well as lots of his asshole collaborators.

The pooping room

The Orange Racist Ballroom does have a certain ring to it.

Does he have everything printed because he’s too stupid to use a computer?

The Donald J Trump Raped Children Ballroom. Or just "the ballroom" if you're into the whole brevity thing. (Who the hell would ever use the "full" name?)

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 2 days ago

I think calling it Trump Child Rape Room hits that brevity sweet spot.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was hoping he'd name it "The Trump Room", which is hilarious as a Brit.

Trump is British slang for fart.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Interesting.

I'll pay you back with "Putín" (pooh-teen), which means little slut/bitch/fag in Mexican Spanish.

How can one be born with this level of unsubstantiated narcissism & delusions of grandiosity?

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

He is the best example of why society shouldn't let people accumulate extreme wealth. Getting everything you want your whole life is poison to the soul. Pair that with a personality disorder or severe mental illness and you get an unholy cocktail of character flaws and vices that the devil himself wouldn't care to partake in.

Epsteins pedo party palace.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Do we know if they will be serving McDonald's in the new ballroom?

[–] waldo_was_here@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

Taco room ? Beter that than dtrump

[–] Townlately@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago

I agree with the "Epstien Ballroom" because its self-serving, exploitative to the taxpayer and will be very ball-focused. Oh wait, maybe "Trump Ballroom" works?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

They're really going to call it the "Rancid Pile of Dogshit and Pig Jizzum Ballroom"?

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The cunt ballroom
