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.

        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.
