President Donald Trump fumed at a federal judge on Thursday who blocked him from being able to build his signature ballroom.
Judge Richard Leon, senior judge of the federal court in the District of Columbia, ruled on Thursday that all above-ground construction for the ballroom had to stop, but construction on a planned underground bunker could proceed. The judge also rebuked Trump for trying to “side-step” a previous order by classifying the ballroom project as a matter of national security, the BBC reported.
Trump responded to the ruling in a post on Truth Social.
“A Trump-Hating Judge, for the first time in History, wants Congress to pay Hundreds of Millions of Dollars for a Glorious Ballroom, instead of accepting Donations from Great American Companies and Citizens,” Trump wrote. “This is a first — In other words, he wants Tax Payers to pay for the Ballroom, instead of Donors and Patriots!”
“The Ballroom is FREE to our Country, A GIFT, and vital for our National Security,” he added. “This Judge, who works for another Judge who was just MANDAMUSED for the unfair and biased way he treats me, should be ashamed of himself!”
