Donald Trump has reportedly picked a name for the new ballroom that will replace the East Wing of the White House, and it’s a true measure of his humility.
Katherine Faulders, ABC’s managing editor in Washington, posted on social media Friday that “Trump will likely name the new $300 million ballroom after himself,” and cited senior administration officials as her source.
“Already, officials are referring to it as ‘The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom’ and that name will likely stick,” she added.
When reached for comment, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told HuffPost: “Any announcement made on the name of the ballroom will come directly from President Trump himself, and not through anonymous and unnamed sources.”
Some people thought another person near and dear to Trump would be a better name on the ballroom.
Others speculated on what might happen to the ballroom after Trump leaves office.

Update: Oct. 25, 2:50 p.m. — Trump told reporters Friday night that the reported naming plan was “fake news.”
“I don’t have any plan to call it after myself, that was fake news,” he said. “Probably gonna call it the Presidential Ballroom or something like that. We haven’t really thought about a name yet.”
