President Donald Trump revealed that more changes are coming to the White House, and we can hardly wait for the predictable meltdown that will ensue from Democrats and members of the media.
During his interview on the "Pod Force One" podcast with Miranda Devine, the president and host discussed some of the grand ballrooms of Europe, and Trump said it was well past time to have one built at the people's house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, D.C.
"For 150 years, they've wanted to have a ballroom ... We'll start in two months ... and we'll have it completed in less than two years," says @POTUS on his plan to build a ballroom at the White House.

Trump's Latest Plans for the White House Guaranteed to Melt the Left
"In the White House, as you know, for 150 years, they've wanted to have a ballroom. They don't have a ballroom," Trump explained. "They have meeting rooms. They have those beautiful, you've seen, you've interviewed me in those rooms. But they have beautiful meeting rooms."
"But they've never had a ballroom," he added. "A ballroom, meaning someplace you can sit 6 or 700 people if the President of China or France, or the U.K., or [EU President] Ursula von der Leyen comes to town, you give them a big state dinner. We don't have a room like that. At the White House, they have to use a tent."
"And if it's raining, it's soaking wet, soggy, the area is a very low area, and all the water rushes to it. And it's a disaster," Trump continued. "So, I said, you know if I win this second time, I'm gonna build a ballroom. A beautiful ballroom for the White House. And they need that at the White House. They can't do the kinds of things they like to do in their big room. Which is a beautiful reception room, but not as a ballroom."
When pressed by the host on when construction could begin on this grand ballroom, the president said he's shooting for the work to get started in two to two-and-a-half months.
"And we'll have it completed in less than two years," Trump explained. "It's a very incredible structure. A lot of it's the interior work. It's going to be beautiful ... It will be a great tribute to the White House. It's going to be something."
Trump said while other presidents have talked about it, he's going to get it done.
It follows another recent update at the White House, which was completed months after Trump's announcement in April about the installation of not one but two giant flagpoles on the White House complex, as RedState reported.
During an impromptu press briefing on Wednesday outside the White House, Trump spoke to reporters about his plans to dig holes for flag poles that will hold a giant American flag.
"We're putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall, American flag [poles] on this side and another one on the other side," Trump said as he pointed to the spaces on the North and South Lawn he surveyed with a crew for the placement of the poles.
"Two flags, top of the line," he added. "And they've needed flag poles for 200 years. It was something that I've often said, 'you know, they don't have a flag pole."
"So, we are putting one right where you saw us," Trump continued. "And we are putting another one on the other side on top of the mounds. It's gonna be two beautiful poles."
The project was completed in June at Trump's personal expense, and pictures and videos of the flags flying high next to the White House look terrific.
President Trump made history - again!

Absolutely stunning.
The Left hates this image. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Democrat president tries to take them down. Because it wasn't their idea. pic.twitter.com/oN0MVHRIRq
Hoo-boy, changes to the White House in the past have been met with gnashing of the teeth by leftist politicians and their talking heads in the media.
I mean, who could forget the meltdown those on the left had during President Trump's first term over First Lady Melania Trump's redo of the White House Rose Garden to make it more accessible, as previously reported?
At the time, we were inundated with hot-takes like a headline from The New York Times, "Marie Antoinette Would Be Proud."
It was reposted by fashion magazine's Jennifer Wright, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "I'd say that overhauling your garden during a time of national unrest is a real Marie Antoinette move, but to my knowledge Marie Antoinette did not make the garden worse."
And the latest updates to the Rose Garden have them undone again.
We can hardly wait to see this grand ballroom and the leftist tears over the construction of the masterpiece!
