Trump Wants $1 Billion to Protect White House Ballroom From Drones and Other Threats President Donald Trump's latest pet project has raised eyebrows with its proposed billion dollar security upgrade for the White House ballroom.
The project, which already boasts a $400 million construction cost covered by private donors from tech firms like Amazon, Apple, and Meta, now seeks taxpayer dollars to fund military grade security measures.
The specifics of the plan are striking. Trump reportedly wants to install a rooftop drone base, dubbed a "drone port," capable of housing an unlimited number of drones operated by the US military.
