- Trump touted progress on the White House ballroom project Saturday morning, claiming it is "under budget" and "ahead of schedule," one day after the Supreme Court temporarily permitted construction work to continue
- Trump described the project as the "magnificent BALLROOM/MILITARY COMPLEX being built on the grounds of the White House" and said "tremendous work has been done."
Why it matters: Trump's claims of progress presuppose the Supreme Court's temporary green light — without Friday's ruling permitting construction to continue, Saturday's self-congratulation would have been premature and the project remains subject to ongoing legal scrutiny.
