President Donald Trump reportedly ordered his motorcade to stop at a Florida strip mall Friday morning so he could purchase supplies for his $400 million White House ballroom. White House pool reports said the presidential motorcade arrived at a shopping center in Lake Worth, Florida at 9:46 AM so Trump could go shopping at Arc Stone & Tile, an importer of Italian marble.

Is the Executive Office building color going to be changed? Ingraham asked Trump as they walked through the White House. I heard a rumor of that. The host noted that she worked in the building as a member of the Reagan administration. So, you know it was always considered an ugly building, Trump replied. But it's actually one of the most beautiful buildings ever built. I kinda like it, Ingraham said.

Construction companies that have been tasked with demolishing the East Wing of the White House and building a $300 million ballroom for President Trump are maintaining a low profile amid public backlash.

Comcast, which owns NBC News and MSNBC, has faced on-air criticism from some of the liberal cable channel's personalities for its donation. Amazon, whose founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post, is another donor.

That is a distraction. All of it is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation, your life, has not gotten better, Obama said. He continued, saying the Trump Administration was too worried about helping the wealthiest, most powerful people in the country while the average citizen's bills are still going up and while the program that helps your kid with special needs just got gutted.

That's a lot of marble and gold. You know, look, I don't have a problem with gold, but I would probably say to the president, Let's just politically get over this little moment and then we can go back to making all the changes you want to make, Singleton said, looking sheepish. I do worry, however, if we give our Democratic friends something to sort of use against us. I don't want to do that!

You can't throw tariffs around indiscriminately and then not negotiate because you're mad about a pushback from one of the countries that you're having a trade war with. People are paying too much for groceries, for durable goods; inflation is up from September, all because of Trump's tariff taxes on all of us. It does have a negative effect on Americans, and it has a negative effect on Canadians.

It's long been evident that the MAGA siege on American governance is a glorified wrecking job, but this week's installment has been just a little too on-the-nose: After pledging not to molest the White House in the process of constructing a $250 million ballroom addition seemingly cribbed from the gaudier reaches of Versailles, President Donald Trump has now approved the demolition of the structure's entire east wing.

The White House has not submitted plans for Donald Trump's new ballroom to the federal agency that oversees construction of federal buildings, though demolition is already under way. On Tuesday, the White House told Reuters it intended to send plans to the National Capital Planning Commission, an agency that typically approves and monitors construction on federal buildings. Demolition began earlier this week, with reporters taking video of a backhoe ripping out chunks of the White House's exterior.

The East Room floor was sagging 18 inches. The president's bathtub was sinking into the floor. And the structure could no longer support the third level and steel roof that were added in 1927. In 1948, the Trumans were forced to vacate to the nearby Blair House - the official state guest house of the president - while the White House underwent a massive four-year renovation that cost about $5.7 million, according to the White House Historical Association.

ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom.
