Trump Posts Hugh Hewitt Column Backing Supreme Court Stay on White House Construction
Trump shares a Hugh Hewitt commentary urging Chief Justice John Roberts to let halted White House construction, including national security facilities, resume.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a commentary by conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt urging Chief Justice John Roberts to lift an order halting construction at the White House, including underground national security facilities and an aboveground ballroom.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “HUGH Hugh Hewitt Chief Justice Roberts has before him the request from President Trump to stay the order halting construction at the White House, including its below ground national security facilities, the ballroom above ground and whatever is intend for the roof (drone defenses perhaps?) I hope the stay of the D.C. Circuit issues today. There are some standing issues but the heart of the debate is presidential authority over the Executive Mansion and related-grounds. This is not a close case and the stay should be ordered. A terse opinion may follow on the urgent need to allow this president and all future presidents authority over their home/office/highly secure national security facilities within that area and associated areas such as Camp David. To ignore the rapidly evolving threats to any facility used frequently any president against the backdrop of repeated attempts on the lives of this and other presidents not to mention rapidly evolving surveillance technology that has to be countered would be the height of irresponsibility. Imagine the consequences of a state sponsor of successfully terror targeting the White House if necessary defenses that would have deflected the attack are not in place.TDS has spread far and wide, but while the hard left in this country and the terror-based regimes which align with the objectives of the radicals would love to see a Commander-in-Chief denied authority over his command structures,The Supreme Court should move quickly to end this circus.” on August 21, 2026 at 11:58 AM ET.
