"President Donald Trump reportedly ordered his motorcade to stop at a Florida strip mall Friday morning so he could purchase supplies for his $400 million White House ballroom. White House pool reports said the presidential motorcade arrived at a shopping center in Lake Worth, Florida at 9:46 AM so Trump could go shopping at Arc Stone & Tile, an importer of Italian marble."
"Trump proudly shared photos of the Lincoln bathroom's marble makeover replete with gold fixtures, writing on Truth Social in October that the art deco green tile style used in the 1940s was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble, Trump continued. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!"
The presidential motorcade stopped at a Lake Worth, Florida shopping center so President Trump could buy marble and onyx at Arc Stone & Tile for a $400 million White House ballroom. A White House official said the materials are being purchased at the president's own expense, while The New Republic noted the shopping occurred on the taxpayer-funded motorcade. Trump has repeatedly pushed marble across official spaces, including a full marble Lincoln Suite bathroom and proposed marble armrests for the Kennedy Center. The ballroom project cost estimate rose from $200 million to $400 million; the president says it is privately funded. Trump has been staying and meeting leaders at Mar-a-Lago.
