Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner says he will keep a piece of Trump's White House ballroom as a paperweight after it is demolished

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a slavery commemoration event on August 26, 2026 that he would keep a piece of the White House ballroom as a desk paperweight after it is demolished in 10 to 15 years. Krasner called President Trump the "embodiment of hate" and "ignorance." Attorney General Todd Blanche criticized the remarks, calling them "disgusting." The ballroom is estimated to cost $400 million and the Supreme Court issued a stay allowing construction to continue.
