Trump's beloved ballroom makeover delayed by yet another unfulfilled promise

President Donald Trump's beloved ballroom project has been delayed by yet another one of the president's unfulfilled promises, according to a new report.

Last year, Trump removed all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an agency that reviews ballroom plans before construction begins. Trump said at the time that he would install loyalists to make the approval process easier, but he has not yet filled those positions, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

In turn, the commission postponed its review of the Trump ballroom project for another week to give the president more time to appoint the commissioners.

Trump began the ballroom project last October when he abruptly tore down the East Wing of the White House. Initially, Trump said the ballroom would be a small addition to the White House.

The project's cost has ballooned. Trump initially projected the ballroom would cost around $200 million, with construction costs covered by donations from private companies and investors. Recently, he has projected the project to cost between $350 million and $400 million.

Trump has also locked horns with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, whom he has accused of mismanaging the $2.5 billion central bank headquarters renovation project.
