And we're under budget and ahead of schedule."
"Trump reiterated his threat to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May. While scolding Powell for alleged cost overruns in the remodeling of the Federal Reserve's headquarters, Trump boasted of his grand plans for the ballroom, which he said will host inaugurations while also being drone-free: He's spending more money than any building has ever spent per square foot on the renovation of."
Donald Trump has overseen extensive remodeling of government properties, including paving over the Rose Garden, demolishing the East Wing, and constructing a massive new ballroom. The ballroom project replaces the East Wing and has prompted the firing of a previous architect who warned a proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom would dwarf the 55,000-square-foot White House. Trump linked the ballroom to inaugural events and said the project is under budget and ahead of schedule. He described the ballroom as having bulletproof glass and a drone-free roof. Trump also threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell while criticizing Fed renovation overruns.
