"The National Capital Planning Commission was scheduled to give final approval to the project on Thursday, which they found curious because the plans seemed to keep changing at the whim of the president."
"As recently as October, the president was still increasing the ballroom's capacity, the kind of decision needed at the concept stage."
"The writers of the piece included a trained architect, a fine artist, and an expert on urban planning, according to The Times."
"Press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's pet project on X Sunday, writing, 'The New York Times had three random people who have studied fine arts, long written about urban planning, and never built anything to write an article criticizing the new White House ballroom.'"

The New York Times reported that the National Capital Planning Commission was set to approve the project despite ongoing changes to the plans. Experts noted that the timeline for construction is problematic, as design documents must be finalized while the design is still under review.
