So Trump is now saying the "ballroom" is actually "the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, D.C., and our Country, itself"
He's also extended soldiers in D.C. until Jan. 20, 2029, his last day

DISGRACEFUL: The Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Todd Blanche, Trump’s former lawyer, as attorney general.
Only two Republican senators voted NO: Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
