Trump Uses Black History Month Event to Brag About His Ballroom
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-uses-black-history-month-event-to-brag-about-his-ballroom/
This is a nice full room, Trump began soon after taking the podium. You know, we have a ballroom being built right now, so in about a year and a half well be able to have, Id say, ten times the number.
You could invite some friends who couldnt make it today, because frankly, this was a sold-out crowd, has been ever since Ive been president, every year its been sold out, he continued before returning to the topic of his $400 million ballroom, which is currently under construction in the East Wing.
Theres your knockout panel, for those that are interested, he said, pointing across the room. See that curtain? You open that curtain, and its a beautiful funnel right into the most beautiful ballroom thats being built there.
The president went on to claim that they wanted the ballroom built for 150 years, but that it was his administration who were getting it done. He has previously claimed that past presidents wanted to build a spacious ballroom but were not able to do so.
Were getting a lot of other things done too, he added, before finally returning to the topic at hand and welcoming attendees to the reception, held to mark Black History Month.
