Margo Martin flaunts Trump ballroom amid midterm backlash.

Donald Trump’s “tone deaf” aide Margo Martin showed off construction of the new White House ballroom — and the internet hit back hard.

Martin, 31, posted a video on X tagging the president with the caption: “@POTUS thanks the hardworking men and women building the White House Ballroom.”

The clip shows Trump in a white cap shaking hands with workers inside the steel skeleton of a room that will replace the historic East Room.

The ballroom, estimated at 90,000 square feet, will also double as a bunker.

Trump demolished the East Room to make way for the project, which has been called a vanity project by critics.

One X user wrote: “This is insanely tone deaf optics. Get it together guys.”

Another said: “One of the many reasons he lost so drastically; the only thing he cares about is his monstrosity of a ballroom which hopefully will be cut down to size and his ticky-tacky, ridiculous, gold oval office taken out the moment he is gone.”

The president has added gold trim and gold paint to door frames, walls and photo frames throughout the Oval Office.

A voter who said they backed Trump three times wrote: “He’s so out of touch it’s unbelievable… And I voted for Trump 3x.”

Another user lambasted the president, writing: “Talk about not being self aware! Donald (lame) Duck deserves this reckoning.”

“Americans don’t care about this ballroom. At all,” declared one critic.

“Americans could give two s--- about this ballroom,” remarked another.

One user pointed directly to the 2026 midterm election results, in which Democrats won significant gains across the United States.

“So I guess Trump didn’t get the message yesterday that we’re sick and tired of our tax money going for dumb f-----g s—. we can’t afford groceries gas utilities, or healthcare. So it’s on the same old b—---,” the post read.

Another wrote: “A ballroom for the ego, a demolition derby for democracy. What a pathetic flex. #Trumpism.”

The ballroom has been at the center of a heated legal controversy for months.

Various court rulings blocked and then unblocked construction.

In August 2026, the Trump administration took the case to the Supreme Court.

Martin’s post comes after she was previously accused of humiliating Trump with a dancing video.

Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News anchor, slammed Trump’s “grift” after the midterm wipeout, saying voters are “no longer interested in the Trump show.”

Kelly’s comments echoed the sentiment of many online who saw the ballroom video as proof the president is out of touch.

The midterm elections on November 3, 2026, saw Democrats flip control of both the House and the Senate.

Trump’s allies have been scrambling to explain the losses, with some pointing to the ballroom project as a symbol of misplaced priorities.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said the age of Donald Trump is over because he “killed” the MAGA movement.
