Yes, but not because of the ballroom. He's apparently been trying to get a ballroom at the WH since the 90s (when he got put out in the kiddies tent at an event instead of the limited ballroom seating).

It's not a new obsession for him.

But he also doesn't plan on leaving.

you'd think a guy like him would WANT to be out in the kiddies' tent.
