President Donald Trump’s dream White House ballroom may be just a teensy bit bigger than promised.
In an interview with NBC News, the president confirmed that the $200 million luxury event space he is reportedly self-funding has already ballooned in size as construction began this week.
“We’re making it a little bigger. It will be top-of-the-line, as good as it can get anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
The updated plan will see the ballroom seat 900 people, up from the original 650, an increase of almost 40 percent.
Planning documents shared by the White House in July indicated that the finished ballroom would measure 90,000 square feet. However, if Trump plans to increase the space in proportion to the resized guest capacity, the supersized ballroom could be nearly 125,000 square
