Jesse Watters claimed that Donald Trump told him he's building the massive White House ballroom as a 'monument' to himself 'because no one else will.' Construction on the controversial ballroom began in October 2025.

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 personally know a narcissist nwith psychopathic tendencies and he actually acts a lot like trump, the midnight rants on how the world has wronged him, the weird “I cannot name a single person without immediately adding some judgement to it” like “Tom who is the greatest architect ever” and “Susan, that bitch”

    oh gosh, now i’m wondering how my friends think of me. like, i’m unabashedly weird and enjoy it, but i have a little 3-second happy memory attached to people i care about in my brain kind of like a hype man, so if i’m telling a story and introduce a new character i can really quickly tell them who they are in three seconds. unfortunately my wife is “injustive to abbreviate” so she has to deal with that. fortunately she’s there, so my friends don’t have to deal with that in my storytelling. i’m probably “good in small doses” to them.

      If you’re worried about what your friends think of you, then you are probably just fine.

      Trump is sad and alone but he’s pretty sure it’s everyone else’s fault. Same with the above commenters friend .

      If you took a second to consider you might be doing something wrong you are probably an alright person to hang around.
