Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials.

Already, officials are referring to it as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom." That name will likely stick, ABC News was told.

Trump has not publicly said what he intends to name the ballroom, but he is known for branding his construction projects after himself -- and it appears this project will be no different.

Future generations will treat it as a public bathroom.

I'm hoping that one day it will be a Smithsonian museum of White House history, including an exhibit of everything Trump destroyed to build his guilded monstrosity. Something tells me it won't happen, even if there is ever another Dem in office, because the Dems are still pathetically hung up on decorum and would never do anything so direct to slight a previous administration. Still, nothing would make Donnie seethe more than seeing this space opened to the riff raff.
