Ballroom size 90,000 sf. A standard American football field, including the end zones, is 57,600 square feet.

Including end zones. It isn't a ballroom it's a fucking stadium.

He needs to be shunned for his destruction of the White House. How long will Congress tolerate this? walkingman Nov 18 #1
To clarify, the addition is 90,000 sf. Not all of it is ballroom. Either way WTF twodogsbarking Nov 18 #2

BBC News reported that while the new building would be architecturally similar to the rest of the mansion, it would feature a "lavish interior including chandeliers and ornate columns".[2] The sides of the ballroom will be made with bulletproof glass.[17] The announcement stated that the project will be an addition of 90,000 sq ft (8,360 sq m); despite interpretations that this referred to the floor area of the ballroom itself, an analysis based on released renderings of the plans suggested that the 90,000 sq ft referred to the full floor area of the planned new East Wing, with the ballroom's floor area being closer to 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2).[31] Trump said the ballroom is planned to be attached to the Executive Residence by what he described as a "glass bridge".[19]

The Hill reported that critics of the project said the ornamentation is "out of touch and ostentatious".[32

He's a disgrace tearing up the PEOPLE'S HOUSE

He thinks he owns everything. I'm so sick of him destroying our country.
