Jesse Watters claims Donald Trump told him he is constructing the new White House ballroom as a “monument” to himself — and that he’s doing it “because no one else will.”

The Fox News host recounted the alleged conversation while speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, a multiday conservative conference and festival in Phoenix, on Saturday, Dec. 20. A video of the moment has since been posted on X.

        I miss the days when it was taken for granted that our presidents would be as talented as David Letterman at a minimum. We had standards back then.

      I highly doubt it’s finished at the end of his term.

      It might not be a pile of rubble, but if there’s anything there it’s going to be flimsy cardboard not up to code and needs to be torn down anyways.
