President Donald Trump just sent the GOP a vulgar message after he remained determined to build his signature ballroom despite a court ordering him to seek Congressional approval, according to one former lawmaker.

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted construction of Trump's ballroom and ordered the Trump administration to obtain Congress's approval before the project could resume. Trump was asked about the order during a press conference in the Oval Office, where he said his administration would appeal the order and declared that the judge in the case got it "so wrong."

"He is WRONG!" Trump wrote on Truth Social later on Tuesday night. "Congressional approval has never been given on anything, in these circumstances, big or small, having to do with construction at the White House. In this case, even less so, because the Ballroom is being built with Private Donations, no Federal Taxpayer Money!"

1. The "private donations" are bribes from tax evaders.

Ballroom is being built with Private Donations, no Federal Taxpayer Money!"
