As the White House looks more and more like a massive construction site for a new world at Universal Resort Orlando—the UFC Freedom 250 arena on the South Lawn being the latest addition to the "The President's House Amusement Park"—amid Federal judge Richard Leon's halting of aboveground building for the East Wing ballroom, the administration appears to be seeking ways to justify the contested project.
It's now a droneport.
For national security.
"The DronePort at the White House Ballroom will be, perhaps, the most sophisticated anywhere in the World," President Trump posted on Truth Social. "It will safeguard our Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C., long into the future.

President Trump also released renderings of what the droneport may look like, as it tops the ballroom and a heavily fortified military complex.
