After a midterm election that saw the Democrats take control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump spent Wednesday ignoring the results and instead stumping for his $400 million plan to build a ballroom for the White House.

Trump’s ballroom has been controversial from the start, not only because he demolished the White House’s East Wing to make room for it but also because he said it would include a military complex beneath the structure. A series of challenges, both from past presidents and US courts, have questioned whether Trump even has the authority to undertake such a project. And yet, he has largely stuck to his guns, once even labeling the ballroom “THE GREATEST OF ITS KIND!”
