Donald Trump is singing his own praises yet again.
The US President plans to build a new ballroom in the East Wing of the White House. He says it’s a project 150 years in the making. “I’ve built many ballrooms in many buildings. And that’s my greatest strength,” said Trump.
The ballroom will cost around $300 million. The President says many of his rich friends will be paying for it.
Donald Trump made bizarre comments in a new interview
It’s feels almost customary to hear the US President make head-scratching comments in public.
In an interview with Fox News correspondent Laura Ingraham, Donald gave her a tour of the renovations done to the building. Among the things the President showed off was his gold-accented oval office. “You can’t imitate gold, real gold,” he said. He refuted the belief that the office paint was from Home Depot. That was a theory that had been circulating online, suggesting that spray-painted appliques were used to create the illusion of gold, costing a mere $58.
Donald also showed her the Presidential Walk of Fame, which he said was his idea, adding, “Everything is my idea.” On the walls there were photos of all the US Presidents, except for that of Joe Biden’s, which had just an autopen picture.
When asked if he’d put an actual picture of the former President, Donald said, “No, I don’t think so.” He called Joe the worst President in the history of the US. He also said that former President Barack Obama is among the top five worst Presidents in American history.
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris late last month called out the President for his White House renovations and ignoring other, more pressing issues. She was concerned that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) might come to an end.
