In a 450-word rant, President Donald Trump raged Sunday on social media about the legal challenges against his White House ballroom project, which he claimed is now “too late” in its construction to be halted.

Trump’s $300 million ballroom project got underway last year with the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, images and video of which stunned critics nationwide. Starting behind schedule and reportedly designed in a “hurried process,” the project saw another speedbump after the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued Trump to stop the ballroom’s construction.

“Making such a large gift to the U.S.A. was thought to be, by almost everyone, ‘A WONDERFUL THING TO DO’ — But no, as usual, I got sued, this time by the Radical Left National (No!)Trust for Historic Preservation, a group that couldn’t care less about our Country!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

“All of the Structural Steel, Windows, Doors, A.C./Heating Equipment and much more, has been ordered (or is ready to be), and there is no practical or reasonable way to go back. IT IS TOO LATE! Why didn’t these obstructionists and troublemakers bring their baseless lawsuit much earlier?”

Trump also insisted that as president, he held complete authority to modify the White House in any manner he saw fit.

“The so-called ‘preservationists,’ who get their money from the most unusual of places, should not be allowed to stop this desperately needed addition to our GREAT White House, a place that a President has never needed permission to change or enhance, because of the special grounds on which it sits, no matter how big (and important!), that enhancement may be,” Trump continued.
