Trump FUMES after court blocks ballroom construction

from THE DAILY BRIEF · host Josh

President Donald Trump lashed out on social media after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ordered an immediate halt to the construction of his controversial $400 million, 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom. In a 2–1 decision, the judicial panel ruled that a U.S. president is merely a "temporary tenant, not the owner" of the executive mansion, meaning major structural overhauls legally require explicit congressional authorization. Trump blasted the ruling as a "politically motivated" and "horrendous" decision, immediately rebranding the project as a vital "military complex" and drone port to frame the court's intervention as a direct threat to national security.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
