trump evidently got too bored after the first five pages of this filing.
The Washington Post did not call trump out for the first five pages but noted that these pages were not legal arguments but "closely resembles Trumps charged remarks and social media posts about the ballroom"

Time is of the essence! Justice Department lawyers wrote, saying that the planned 90,000-square-foot addition to the White House is being designed to defend against hostile attacks via drones, ballistic missiles, bullets, biohazards and other potential threats to the president. They also argued that Trump has the authority to build the ballroom, disputing Leons ruling that the project requires congressional approval.
The tone of the administrations 27-page filing particularly its first five pages departs from the usual style for federal appellate briefs, which typically focus on legal arguments. Instead, the language closely resembles Trumps charged remarks and social media posts about the ballroom, which the president has identified as a personal priority. The appeal invokes the American Patriots who have made donations for the project, lists various materials being used to construct it and repeats Trumps frequent boasts that the project is under budget and ahead of schedule.
No taxpayer dollars are being used for the funding of this beautiful, desperately needed, and completely secure (for national security purposes) ballroom, the Justice Department lawyers wrote, defending Trumps decision to solicit private donations. Leon said that Trump was attempting an end-run around Congress by relying on private funding.
Here is another lawyer noting the style of the first couple of pages are written the style of trump's truth social posts
Trump has filed an emergency appeal to keep building his planned White House ballroom, saying it's a matter of national security.
The motion particularly the first five pages is unusually written for an appellate brief, and often resembles Trump's Truth Social posts.

I am shocked that any lawyer would sign their name to this filing
