特朗普在第二任期内推动的白宫东翼改造项目遭到上诉法院的阻止[1]。法院裁定特朗普作为白宫的租住者，无权在未获国会批准的情况下对这座拥有123年历史的建筑进行永久性改造[1]。特朗普已向最高法院提起上诉该案件[1]。
这一决定凸显了特朗普权力的边界。虽然担任总统职位，但其权力并非无限，最高法院已先后驳回了他推翻出生公民权、实施全球关税制度以及动员国民警卫队等多项决定[1]。据记者Maggie Haberman报道，这些项目占据了特朗普约70%的对话内容[1]。
An appeals court has halted Trump's renovation project for the White House East Wing during his second term, determining that Trump lacks the authority to undertake permanent alterations to the historic building without congressional approval.[1] The court ruled that Trump is merely a tenant of the White House rather than its owner, a legal distinction that strips him of unilateral power to modify the 123-year-old structure.[1]
Trump has already appealed the case to the Supreme Court.[1] Beyond the East Wing project, the Supreme Court has rejected multiple Trump administration initiatives, including efforts to overturn birthright citizenship, implement a global tariff system, and mobilize the National Guard.[1]
According to journalist Maggie Haberman, these renovation and building projects consume approximately 70 percent of Trump's conversation content, underscoring his personal investment in the endeavor.[1]
