President Donald Trump boasted on his Truth Social platform about the “spectacular” ballroom that he’s ordered to be built at the White House.

Critics, though, fumed and basically suggested he read the room as Americans face a raft of issues during his second term.

Trump controversially razed the East Wing to make way for the $300 million venue.

On Sunday, he wrote online:

“The Presidential Ballroom, which I am building at the White House, with all private donations and funding (ZERO cost to the American Taxpayer!), will be, at its completion, the most beautiful and spectacular Ballroom anywhere in the World! It is something that has been needed and desired at the White House for over 150 years, but something which no other President was equipped to do — But I am, and as long as we are going to do it, we are going to do it RIGHT. It will be a magnificent addition to the White House, the most important since the building of the West Wing!”

NBC News’ senior Supreme Court reporter Lawrence Hurley responded to Trump’s post: “I must have missed Trump on the campaign trail saying that building a ballroom at the White House was one of his top priorities.”

A second critic said, “Your grocery bills are through the roof and all he cares about is his stupid ballroom. That’s the crux of it.”

Added a third: “He’ll make up some shit story, like Abraham Lincoln wanted a ballroom, as did every president since. We have a crazy person in the WH and no one knows what to do about it.”

Others called it a “complete waste of money,” asking who would pay for the maintenance of the venue once it’s built.
