The National Capital Planning Commission on Thursday delayed its final vote on President Trump’s planned $400 million White House ballroom amid a deluge of negative comments from the public.

The board, which is led by Trump allies, had been expected to vote to approve the project on Thursday. But Stephen Staudigl, a spokesman for the panel, said in a statement that the timing would be pushed back “given the large amount of public input on the project.”

The vote is now expected at the commission’s meeting on April 2.

About 32,000 comments from across the country have poured into the commission, which reviews the impact of development projects on the capital’s urban landscape, during the public comment period before its vote on the 90,000-square-foot ballroom project.

An overwhelming majority of the comments, more than 98 percent, are negative, according to an analysis by The New York Times, which used an artificial intelligence model to classify each comment’s view. Only around 1 percent of the comments supported the project.
 
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) in the DSM-5-TR is a cluster B personality disorder defined by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood. Diagnosis requires meeting at least five of nine specific criteria, including fantasies of success, entitlement, exploitative behavior, and arrogance.
 
“… A White House spokesperson told The Washington Post that while Trump prefers Corinthian columns in new construction, there are no plans to change the existing Ionic columns outside the White House. Cook said he had yet to discuss the idea directly with the president.…”

The article notes that the new ballroom has Corinthian columns (so won’t match the current WH Ionic columns — unless they change the ballroom design or update the existing WH to match the ballroom).
