Donald Trump has unveiled wild plans for a sci-fi style “drone port” on top of the controversial new White House ballroom. The US President took to Truth Social over the weekend to share a series of mock-up AI images showcasing the high-tech fortress, while launching a furious tirade against the legal authorities standing in his way.
Blasting a federal judge who previously attempted to freeze the construction, Trump made it clear he views the project as a vital line of defence.
The Orange Manbaby posted: “The DronePort at the White House Ballroom will be, perhaps, the most sophisticated anywhere in the World! It will safeguard our Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C., long into the future.
“Judge Richard Leon should stop playing games with America’s Security! If anything happens, he will be held responsible for the Death and Destruction caused to our Country.”
The eye-popping images shared by Trump featured three separate concepts of the tech-heavy roof, complete with various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) parked on the ballroom structure, alongside armed military personnel guarding the fleet.
Trump has relentlessly argued that the military upgrade is essential for the safety of the executive mansion, previously telling reporters that the addition would transform the building into a “shield” for Washington, D.C.
However, the plans have faced a rocky road in the courts. Judge Richard Leon, originally appointed by George W. Bush, threw a spanner in the works back in April, ruling that the administration did not have the congressional green light required to build the ballroom.
While Judge Leon initially slapped down an injunction to stop all “above-ground construction,” an appeals court temporarily paused his order, meaning builders are still on-site for now.
Trump also took aim at preservationist Alison Hoagland, who assisted the National Trust for Historic Preservation in launching the lawsuit against the ballroom.
Unleashing a double-barrelled attack, he posted: “[Leon] has already created enough problems by allowing ‘Top Secret’ information to be released and exposed based on a ridiculous lawsuit started by a highly litigious woman (serial plaintiff!) whose ‘strolling,’ in her opinion, will be disturbed by the new, desperately needed structure.”
“In any event, a woman who has absolutely no STANDING! With the advent of highly sophisticated, and powerful, modern day weaponry, we can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone. This ridiculous lawsuit must be dismissed, IMMEDIATELY!”
The Department of Justice has since weighed in, lodging a fresh request last week asking Judge Leon to scrap the injunction altogether, pointing to security concerns raised after the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner shooting in April.
The drone port visuals were part of a massive weekend spree of AI-generated imagery shared by Trump, which also featured a concept for his very own “golden dome” missile defence system over the White House.
