Guess Who Donated to the White House Ballroom Project? The Left Is Gonna Flip!https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/10/25/guess-who-donated-to-the-white-house-ballroom-project-the-left-is-gonna-flip-n4945248Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that President Trump’s latest project at the White House is causing quite a stir. A grand ballroom worthy of hosting foreign leaders and dignitaries is now underway in the location where the East Wing once stood. Critics are fuming, pundits are pearl-clutching, and yet again, Trump is living rent-free in the heads of liberals everywhere. But when you cut through the melodrama, the facts tell a very different story—a practical and even historic one.
...
Critics say it’s extravagant, but Trump is actually making an investment in the long-term functionality of the nation’s most famous residence. The new ballroom will eliminate recurring event expenditures, saving taxpayer dollars while enhancing the White House’s ability to host major gatherings. And the best part? It won’t cost taxpayers a dime. With a price tag between $250 and $300 million, the project is being funded entirely through private donations—partly from Trump himself and the rest from corporate and individual donors. It’s the kind of forward-thinking infrastructure improvement that, if proposed by any other president, the press would be praising as visionary.
...
Democrats in Congress, with Hakeem Jeffries leading them, are promising investigations into who’s contributing money—because showcasing faux outrage keeps the base happy.
But here’s where the story gets delightfully ironic.
The donor list the White House released is packed with names you’d never expect to see supporting a Trump initiative: Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and—wait for it—Comcast. Yes, that Comcast. The parent company of MSNBC, NBCNews, and CNBC—the same outlets currently panicking about “Trump’s destructive vanity project”—is literally helping fund the thing they’re denouncing on air. You can’t make this up. The same talking heads wailing that Trump is “desecrating history” are doing it under the financial umbrella of one of his donors.

Other contributors include Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Palantir, and a handful of individual donors. Big Tech companies, which are typically anti-Trump bastions of leftist virtue, are suddenly writing checks for his ballroom. Maybe those boardroom politics aren’t quite as ideological as they claim.
Looks like Jeffries' threat got
trumped by reality.
BTW, the model of what the finished project will look like looks like the connecting corridor and the new East Wing building will continue the architectural style of the executive mansion.
