Trump Reveals White House Ballroom Drone Port Image With Trucks On The Roof
Trump promotes a White House rooftop drone hub as his administration prepares to take its ballroom fight to the Supreme Court.
President Donald Trump announced on social media the creation of a "DronePort" atop the planned White House ballroom, featuring military drones, armed personnel and trucks on the roof. The image, purportedly AI-generated, was shared on Truth Social. The decision came after an appeals court ruled that construction could not proceed without congressional approval, deeming Trump's unilateral authority to build the $400 million project was lacking.
The court emphasized that the property belongs to the federal government, and any construction requires express authorization from Congress. The ruling allows underground work to continue while the legal battle unfolds. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the decision, calling it "unjust" and threatening to appeal to the Supreme Court.
However, the court's majority found that the Constitution's Property Clause grants Congress broad control over federal property, and the project amounts to new construction, not merely an alteration or improvement.
