> Donald Trump has reacted angrily on social media after his administration was ordered to stop construction of a $400m ballroom at the White House. A federal appeals court ruling represents the latest setback for the controversial personal project and puts Trump’s presidential authority under scrutiny. Trump has promised to appeal to the Supreme Court. The panel’s majority said that deciding whether to build such a large ballroom belongs to Congress, rather than executive self-help.
