President Donald Trump left his critics in disbelief on Monday with his latest verbal detour as he spent nearly two minutes of a ceremony for Medal of Honor recipients bragging about his “beautiful ballroom.”
“We have a lot of great service members here with us too in this beautiful building,” the president said during a White House ceremony. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
That was enough to launch Trump into one of his favorite subjects: the massive ballroom now under construction on the White House grounds.
“See that nice drape?” Trump said, gesturing toward the curtains. “When that comes down right now, you see a very, very deep hole. But in about a year and a half from now, you’re gonna see a very, very beautiful building.”
Trump said he liked the current doors and drapes on the building and indicated that he’d like to keep them in place.
