Twitter Users Mock Trump's New Ballroom with Memes Referencing Jeffrey Epstein

As the Trump administration plans to reveal the name of a new, $300 million ballroom in the White House's East Wing, Twitter users have taken to social media to mock the proposed name and instead refer to it as the "Epstein Ballroom." The move comes as part of a larger controversy surrounding the construction of the new space, which has already attracted criticism for its estimated cost and plans for a section of the existing building to be torn down. When asked about the project, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the construction of the ballroom was President Trump's "main priority," despite concerns about the project's feasibility.
