- President Trump used Truth Social to criticize a lawsuit challenging his White House construction projects, labeling it "highly damaging to our country."
- The lawsuit, likely filed by Alison Hoagland and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, targets the demolition of the East Wing to build a new ballroom.
- Trump asserted the ballroom project is "on time, and under budget," despite reports indicating its cost has escalated from $200 million to over $400 million.
- The legal challenge argues that no president is legally permitted to alter the White House or construct on public property without proper review.
- Trump also highlighted other D.C. projects, including renovating the Federal Reserve building and repainting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, taking credit for its size despite its 1923 construction.
