Trump says no plans to name White House ballroom after himself

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.

  With the amount of old, rich and powerful men in there the Virginia Giuffre Ballroom would probably be more accurate.

No-one is every gonna call it anything but the Epstein ballroom.
- Inaminate_Carbon_Rod @lemmy.world 3d ago
  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.

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.
- FatCrab @slrpnk.net 2d ago
  Convert it into a museum dedicated to memorializing and studying America's greatest failings and violations.
  
  BarneyPiccolo @lemmy.today 2d ago
  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.
  
  DomeGuy @lemmy.world 3d ago
  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.

  No, fuck it. Time to be petty. Raze the fucker.

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"
- Inaminate_Carbon_Rod @lemmy.world 3d ago
  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.
  
  rayyy @lemmy.world 2d ago
  Bingo.

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

What's the point of this story? Everyone already knew that. He puts his name on literally everything he can get away with. It would be news if he was planning to name it after anyone else.
- leftzero @lemmy.dbzer0.com 2d ago
  The point is that they want people to stop calling the Epstein ballroom the Epstein ballroom.

  I'm hoping that one day it will be a Smithsonian museum of White House history, including an exhibit of everything Trump destroyed to build his guilded monstrosity. Something tells me it won't happen, even if there is ever another Dem in office, because the Dems are still pathetically hung up on decorum and would never do anything so direct to slight a previous administration. Still, nothing would make Donnie seethe more than seeing this space opened to the riff raff.

- krashmo @lemmy.world 3d 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.
Townlately @feddit.nl 3d 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?
JamieDub86 @piefed.social 3d ago
I was hoping he'd name it "The Trump Room", which is hilarious as a Brit.

Reminds me of a shitty Russian palace. If and when the USA returns to sanity, the next leaders should ask the voters if they want the damn thing demolished and bring back the Rose Garden too. Of course use union labor.

Next president, assuming we get one, should complain, very publicly how ugly and gaudy it is. Then either bulldoze it. And also plant grass in the garden again.
