On August 7, local time, US President Trump posted on the social networking platform “Real Social” that he would immediately appeal the federal appellate court's ruling to block the White House ballroom project to the US Supreme Court, adding that the ruling was “politically motivated and illegal.” Trump quoted Federal Court of Appeals Judge Naomi Rao's objections as saying that the plaintiff, the US National Historic Preservation Trust, was not eligible to sue to prevent construction in the White House, that the district court had no authority to intervene in the project, and that the government's national security interests should be prioritized. Trump said that the project includes not only ballrooms, but also bomb shelters, hospitals and medical facilities, classified military facilities, anti-missile steel structures, anti-drone roofs, military ventilation systems, and bulletproof and explosion-proof glass, etc., and is an overall national security and military facility project. He also said that the relevant projects are funded by him and other private US donors, and that the taxpayer will not bear the costs, and that the appellate court ruling will threaten the safety of White House staff, future US presidents and their families, and visiting foreign dignitaries.
