This is pretty awesome!

Look at this place:

The White House

The White House

Karoline Leavitt announced the plan today:

From the White House:

The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of innately designed and carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people — a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House.

...

The White House Ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, but at the same time, it's theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical. The site of the new ballroom will be where the small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits. The East Wing was constructed in 1902 and has been renovated and changed many times, with a second story added in 1942.

The project is set to begin in September and will be finished "long before the end of President Trump's term."

If you're like me, however, you hate it when the government spends your money. I have good news for you in that case.

President Trump, and other patriot donors, have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million dollar structure.

By "the funds necessary," I'll go ahead and assume we're talking about that whole $200 mil.

I'll leave you with this from President Trump:
