The 279 residents of Doonbeg have largely backed the president’s plan to build what his son Eric described as “the nicest ballroom in Ireland” at his Trump International Golf Links & Hotel. They said it would help the town fight off decline and bring tourism and jobs to the area.

Uncle Sam may receive charitable gifts, but that doesn’t give presidents free rein on how to spend those funds.

Although the fate of the ballroom is tied up in court, the Trump administration argues that the project is too far along to be stopped now.

Donald Trump has warned that not even the Supreme Court will be able to halt construction of his ballroom project because he built it with indestructible concrete that can’t be taken down.

The administration says it is too late to unwind the project, even though two courts ruled against it.

President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow him to build a ballroom at the White House, citing previous threats to Trump’s life, national security needs and architectural values.

Trump says guests will enjoy cocktails outside of the new White House ballroom while bomb shelters extend deep underground.

Trump admitted on Wednesday that he initially wanted to keep the military components and bomb shelters a secret, and had even warned the group suing him over the ballroom that it would result in the public learning too much. But now that the details are out in the open, he insisted the project was necessary.
