What a SURPRISE. Trump's bigly yuge $200 million Mar-a-Lago White House ballroom will be "a little bigger." [View all]

Trump’s dream White House ballroom may be just a teensy bit bigger than promised.

In an interview with NBC News, the president confirmed that the $200 million luxury event space he is reportedly self-funding has already ballooned in size as construction began this week.

“We’re making it a little bigger. It will be top-of-the-line, as good as it can get anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

The updated ballroom will seat 900 people, up from the original 650, an increase of almost 40 percent.
