Trump Hosts Key Dinner
Washington, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump hosted an elegant dinner at the White House Wednesday evening, bringing together America’s top business leaders and patriotic donors who are funding one of the most ambitious upgrades in presidential history — the first-ever White House Ballroom.
The exclusive East Room gathering included high-profile figures from Microsoft, Google, Palantir, and Wall Street giants like Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman and tech entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
“We have a lot of legends in the room tonight,” President Trump told the applauding crowd. “You’ve given tremendously to make history — a White House ballroom, finally, after more than 150 years.”
With a trademark touch of showmanship, President Trump opened the East Room curtains to reveal the location where the ballroom will soon rise.
“Every president talked about adding one,” he said. “But it never happened — because they didn’t have a real estate person in charge.”
💎 A Vision Decades in the Making
The upcoming $200 million ballroom, announced in August, will sit adjacent to the East Wing and accommodate up to 650 seated guests. It will host state dinners, patriotic celebrations, and world-class events, all in a grand new space befitting America’s First Residence.
Crucially, not one dollar of taxpayer money will be spent on the project. Every penny is being raised through private donations — a move that underscores Trump’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and private-sector partnership.
🏛 A Legacy of Renewal and Pride
The ballroom joins a growing list of White House improvements undertaken under President Trump’s leadership.
From revitalizing the Rose Garden to redecorating the Oval Office and proposing a memorial arch near Arlington National Cemetery, Trump’s projects reflect a deep respect for American history paired with a builder’s vision for the future.
Supporters say the ballroom will stand as a symbol of strength, unity, and American excellence — a lasting legacy for generations to come.
“This is more than a ballroom,” one donor remarked. “It’s a tribute to America’s enduring greatness — and to a President who gets things done.”
