Trump Asks Supreme Court to Let White House Ballroom Construction Continue The White House has become a symbol of President Trump's ego and hubris, but his latest move may be his most egregious yet.
Despite a federal appeals court ruling that it must stop, Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow construction of his $400 million ballroom to continue.
The backstory is well documented: Trump tore down the East Wing without notifying Congress, sparking widespread criticism and lawsuits.
