Is Trump using some of his own money for the ballroom?

Yes,
Donald Trump is using some of his own money to help fund the new White House ballroom, in addition to private donations from numerous corporations and individuals. The total cost for the project is estimated at around $300 million and is not being funded by taxpayers.
Additional details on the ballroom funding:
  • Trump's contributions: Trump confirmed on social media that he personally is contributing funds toward the project. The exact amount he is contributing has not been specified.
  • Corporate and individual donors: A list of donors includes major corporations such as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Meta.
  • Settlement money: A portion of the funding, $22 million, comes from a legal settlement between Trump and YouTube, a Google subsidiary, over his account's suspension after January 6, 2021. This money is being contributed to the Trust for the National Mall for the project.
  • Donor concerns: The fundraising model has drawn criticism from some legal experts who have raised concerns that donations from the private sector could be a way for corporations and individuals to gain access or influence with the administration.
