“President Trump’s vision for a White House ballroom stretches back more than a decade. His argument that it is ‘vital to our national security,’ which culminated Friday in an appeal to the Supreme Court, is far more recent,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“When Trump announced last year that he was demolishing part of the White House to make way for the project, he framed it as a matter of aesthetics and space.”
Said Trump: “It will be a great legacy project, and I think it will be special. I think it will be really beautiful.”
