Big Names Fund Trump's White House Makeover

The White House has shared a list of those who put money into President Donald Trump's new ballroom. This comes after people criticized the tearing down of the old East Wing to build the new space. The ballroom is set to be huge, covering 90, 000 square feet. It is expected to cost a whopping $300 million. Big tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Meta are among the donors. So are some very rich people and other big businesses. Over 30 groups or individuals have given money for this project. The East Wing, which had been there for many years, is now gone. It was removed to make room for the new ballroom.This project has sparked a lot of debate. Some people question why so much money is being spent on a ballroom. Others wonder about the influence of the donors. The White House says the new space will be used for events and meetings. But critics argue that the cost is too high, especially during times of economic uncertainty. The ballroom is still under construction. It is not clear when it will be finished. The White House has not given a specific date. The project has definitely put a spotlight on the relationship between politics and big money. It raises questions about who benefits from such large donations.
