Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials.

Already, officials are referring to it as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom." That name will likely stick, ABC News was told.

Trump has not publicly said what he intends to name the ballroom, but he is known for branding his construction projects after himself -- and it appears this project will be no different.

Reminds me of a shitty Russian palace. If and when the USA returns to sanity, the next leaders should ask the voters if they want the damn thing demolished and bring back the Rose Garden too. Of course use union labor.

They're really going to call it the "Rancid Pile of Dogshit and Pig Jizzum Ballroom"?

The Donald J Trump Raped Children Ballroom. Or just "the ballroom" if you're into the whole brevity thing. (Who the hell would ever use the "full" name?)

I think calling it Trump Child Rape Room hits that brevity sweet spot.

Remember Trump also means poop

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know it means to fart/break wind, but I didn't know it meant poo.

Next president, assuming we get one, should complain, very publicly how ugly and gaudy it is. Then either bulldoze it. And also plant grass in the garden again.
