BREAKING: President Trump Scores ANOTHER Big Win on White House Ballroom


Well, that was quick!

A couple days ago, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled again that President Trump cannot continue constructing the White House ballroom without approval from Congress.

We covered that ridiculous ruling here:

Now, for the second time, an appeals court has stepped in to strike the rogue judge's ruling down!

In a massive victory for President Trump, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned Judge Leon's order.

Here are the details:

TRUMP JUST WON AGAIN!

An Appeals Court has STRUCK DOWN ANOTHER activist judge who tried to block President Trump's White House ballroom construction, pending full review

This comes as Trump said a woman *WALKING HER DOG* claimed "standing" to sue and block the ballroom

Liberals are PATHETIC.

Trump also confirmed this is partially a MILITARY construction, important for national security and home to bomb shelters

Trump will get it built in the end!

Specifically, the appeals court has granted President Trump a stay allowing him to continue construction on the ballroom until June, when further arguments will be heard.

The Hill reported further:

A three-judge federal appeals panel on Friday allowed construction on President Trump’s White House ballroom to go forward into June, a move that came one day after a federal judge limited the project to “below-ground construction.”

The panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted the Trump administration a stay of U.S. District Judge Richard Leon’s order from Thursday. The panel scheduled arguments for June 5 to reconsider if all construction should be blocked.

Leon first halted construction of the ballroom in March, citing a lack of congressional approval. He reiterated that decision on Thursday but limited the project to “below-ground construction,” rejecting the administration’s claims that the entire project must proceed for security reasons.

The order referred to underground construction of bunkers, bomb shelters, military installations or medical facilities.

The administration has argued that construction on the $400 million project was vital to the safety of Trump and his family. The ballroom will be made with missile-resistant steel columns; drone-proof roofing materials; and bullet-, ballistic- and blast-proof glass, according to court filings. It will also house top-secret military installations, medical facilities and bomb shelters.
