🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge just straight-up asked the Trump White House:
“Where does the president get the power to build a giant $400M ballroom without Congress?”
Judges are questioning whether this is executive overreach, not just renovation — and legal experts are calling it a constitutional showdown.
This could be the next big check on presidential power we didn’t see coming. Even allies are stunned.
Stay tuned.
A federal judge has raised pointed questions about the Trump White House’s authority to move forward with plans for a proposed $400 million ballroom, asking bluntly where the president derives the power to approve such a massive project without explicit congressional authorization.
During a recent hearing, the judge suggested the proposal may go far beyond routine renovation or executive discretion, framing it instead as a potential case of executive overreach. Legal experts say the scale and funding implications of the project place it squarely in constitutional territory, where Congress traditionally controls federal spending and major alterations to government property.
The dispute is quickly shaping up as a broader test of presidential power, one that could set new limits on what the executive branch can do unilaterally. Even some allies of the former president have expressed surprise at the legal pushback, signaling that the case could have consequences well beyond a single construction project. For now, all eyes are on the courts as another high-stakes separation-of-powers battle unfolds.
