Trump has not publicly said what he intends to name the ballroom, but officials say it's already being referred to as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom."

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.

      The republicans will.

      They will then use their media arm to accuse us all of something sinister hoping the name won’t stick.

      The name will stick

      The Epstein Ballroom.

        Meh, I’m kinda hoping we dissolve the presidency redistribute control of the different agencies to answer to congress and get rid of the stupid presidential elections every 4 years. Changing the whole landscape that is our party system because it won’t be so much of a popularity contest and commemorate it by demolishing the White House and putting a park in its place.

          I’m not “mememing”, if we all informally call it the Epstein ballroom, it’ll become the official name.

          same way as conservatives renamed ACA to Obamacare. we can do the same.

    IF we ever take our country back, the first thing we should is tear down that monstrosity, and replace it with the original plan, and charge him for the job. After all, he never asked permission, he just took a bulldozer to the most iconic building in America.

      Convert it into a museum dedicated to memorializing and studying America’s greatest failings and violations.

        I would prefer it becomes a sort of cautionary museum, about how vigilant we must be to protect our country from traitors and criminals who want to exploit it. We can call it the Trump Museum of Treason.

        But no, he loves his name too much. I am of the mind to erase all mention of him from history, the way the Pharaohs would chip their predessessors names from their monuments.

        He can be referred to as He Who Must Not Be Named.

      I’d want to, but that might be throwing good money after bad. Maybe they’ll find a better purpose for it.

        Throwing good money after bad would be spending another $200,000,000 to retrofit the monstrosity and be sure there are no “Russian clocks.”

        Just demolishing the thing and acting like a Kaiju stepped on the east wing might be petty and wasteful, but it wouldn’t be throwing good money after bad.

    Why does the White House even need a Ballroom? Do they throw many balls?

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

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

      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.

    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.

        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.
