NOTHING quite says "We are in Iran and Americans are dying" like saying "See that nice drapes?" Hashtag Amendment 25
Combining the presidential address with a presentation of awarding the Medal of Honor to three Army soldiers before a packed room, the president went off script, as is his custom, and pointed out that the drapes behind him concealed the area where his ballroom will be constructed.
“See that nice drapes?” he said as he turned to look behind him. “When that comes down –– right now you see a very very deep hole –– but in about a year and a half you're going see a very very beautiful building. And there's your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors because it can't get more beautiful than that. I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold. I believe we can save a lot of money."
With the president’s address carried live, commenters on social media immediately began wondering what had just happened.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman joked, “Trump just held a press conference about war with Iran, and spent much of it talking about drapes and his ballroom. I guess those are the drapes of wrath???”
