Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
President Trump is increasingly using national security as a justification for his plans, including a triumphal arch he now claims will be a military depot. This rationale is being invoked across various fronts, from press freedom to environmental regulations, often facing legal and political pushback.
President Trump reportedly rejected building codes for his planned White House ballroom, telling the architect, "I am the code." This decision has led to litigation and concerns about safety and legality, with courts halting construction due to congressional authority over White House alterations.
