President Donald Trump lashed out at the National Trust after it successfully sued for a preliminary injunction that halted construction of his $400 million White House ballroom.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World," the president complained in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. "I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center... where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and 'sprucing up' a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance."

Trump went on to complain that the "Radical Left Group of Lunatics" was not suing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell for restoring the Federal Reserve.

"Or, have they sued on Governor Gavin Newscum's 'RAILROAD TO NOWHERE' in California that is BILLIONS over Budget and, probably, will never open or be used," he ranted. "So, the White House Ballroom, and The Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget, ahead of schedule, and will be among the most magnificent Buildings of their kind anywhere in the World, gets sued by a group that was cut off by Government years ago, but all of the many DISASTERS in our Country are left alone to die. Doesn't make much sense, does it?"
