Trump blasts 'TREASONISTS' over White House ballroom lawsuit, seeks Supreme Court intervention

President Donald Trump launched a late-night rant on Truth Social, attacking the National Trust for Historic Preservation and board member Alison Hoagland as 'TREASONISTS' for a lawsuit blocking construction of a White House ballroom. He accused them of revealing 'top secret military features' in court filings. The outburst followed his administration's request for the Supreme Court to reverse lower court rulings that halted the project pending congressional approval. Trump also posted an AI-generated image of himself giving George Washington a tour of the renovated ballroom. The project, which includes an underground bunker and drone port, has become a fixation for Trump, who argues it is essential for national security and hosting world leaders. The administration cited a recent missile threat against Air Force One to bolster its security argument. The Supreme Court has been asked to allow construction to continue while it considers the case, with the government warning the project is nearing completion.
