“Redraft. Refine. Resubmit.”

The Secret Service had requested the security funding after an incident last month in which a man was charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Trump also cited the shooting when defending the ballroom plan, writing on social media that the incident would not have happened if the “Militarily Top Secret Ballroom” currently being built at the White House had already existed.

“It cannot be built fast enough!” he added.

Will the ballroom still be built?

The ballroom project has already faced legal challenges. A federal judge previously blocked construction, ruling that Trump had exceeded his authority. However, an appeals court later allowed work to continue in April while the case proceeds through the courts.
