White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted The New York Times over a piece about the new White House ballroom that describes the plans as "unnecessarily big" and "very tall" in an interactive image of the ballroom plans.
"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. President Trump and his lead architect have built world-class buildings around the world, and they are ensuring the People's House finally has a beautiful ballroom that's been needed for decades โ at no expense to the taxpayer," she wrote on X.
