Trump Posts Vision of Proposed White House Ballroom Roof as ‘DronePort’

President Donald Trump’s much-desired White House Ballroom could feature a “drone port” on the roof, according to a Truth Social post.

The image shows six drones on a white roof, with numerous armed military personnel around the perimeter and the Washington Monument in the distance.

“This great and very important military asset sits atop the heavily protected Ballroom at the White House. It provides National Security for Washington, D.C., and will protect future Presidents!!! President DJT,” the president wrote in a Friday night Truth Social post.

A federal Appeals court ruled Friday that Trump’s controversial ballroom project — for which he demolished the historic East Wing of the White House — was illegal because the administration failed to get congressional approval.

Trump raged against the 2-1 decision by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in a late night Truth Social post which declared the ruling “a National Security Threat at the highest level.”

He claimed the ballroom would also serve as a “Military Complex.”

Two Judges, one appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the other by Sleepy Joe Biden, said in a ruling on the desperately needed SECURE Ballroom/Military Complex, including a major DronePort on the roof, that “Each President is a temporary tenant…of the White House.” We are not tenants, who pay rent and do all other things that a tenant must do, we are PRESIDENTS, elected by the people of the United States of America, and have many rights, including the right to fix, renovate, secure, protect, and beautify the White House grounds, which has been built and rebuilt, renovated and rerenovated, repaired and, simply, MADE BETTER, many times since 1792, and never needing the permission of Congress, or anyone else, to do so. This decision, made after much of the work has been done and paid for, is a National Security Threat at the highest level. It is also a National Disgrace. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The “DronePort” image followed soonafter, including a second, similar post appearing to show the same scene at sunset.

The president also posted an AI image of himself with two of America’s greatest military figures: George S. Patton and Douglas MacArthur.
