Trump's Bigly Yuge $200 MILLION Gold MAGAt "Ballroom" will "be significantly larger than the White House itself" [View all]

New renderings of President Donald Trump’s $200 million dream ballroom have provided new insight into what will soon occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The ballroom, now expected to be nearly 125,000 square feet, will be significantly larger than the White House itself. The latest mock-ups, obtained by CBS News, show just how much the structure will tower over the 233-year-old executive mansion.

The ballroom, a Palladian structure, appears to have an entrance with stairs facing south, toward The Ellipse and the Washington Monument. At the top of the stairs are six Corinthian-style columns.

Inside, renderings depict a lavish ballroom featuring neoclassical architectural elements, including large arched windows, ornate chandeliers, a coffered ceiling, and, in true Trump fashion, numerous gold accents.
