Unimaginable B*LLSH*T...Donors to Trump's "Ballroom" will have their names "etched in the WH FOREVER" [View all]
A new report left critics aghast Friday as it claimed donors to President Donald Trump's luxurious new White House ballroom may get their names enshrined in the building "forever."
Trump is building the addition, a project described as the most significant renovation of the White House since Harry Truman. The ballroom is planned as part of a 90,000-square-foot expansion of the East Wing, will cover about 25,000 square feet and seat up to 900 guests.
The estimated cost is around $200 million, and Trump has vowed he'd pay for the addition, though it is being funded privately by Trump and donors. CBS News reported Friday that special incentives were under consideration for wealthy elites willing to pony up for Trump's pet project. Among the options: having their names "etched inside the White House forever," or having their names placed on a website. A final decision has not been made.
Predictably, critics were none too happy with the news, with many dubbing it a "pay-to-play" scheme.
