- Charlamagne Tha God, in a Wednesday Daily Show monologue, urged people to treat Trump’s third‑term talk as serious and pressed Republicans to say if they want him to be “king.”
- Trump said he doubled the ballroom’s size and claimed it is ahead of schedule and a little under budget, calling it appropriate for the White House.
- Reporting now pegs the project at about $400 million after an earlier $200 million private‑funding claim, while Senate Republicans seek $1 billion for security and related work.
- Trump disclosed the U.S. military is building a massive underground complex beneath the site and said a lawsuit forced that detail into the open.
- Left‑leaning outlets frame the build as a vanity symbol of extended power, while Fox News emphasizes security needs and cites plans for a 90,000‑square‑foot hall with seating for about 650.
