Trump real reason for a $400 Million ballroom: "I'm building a monument to myself because no one else will." [View all]

On Saturday, Fox News host Jesse Watters revealed that Trump sees the ballroom as a “monument” to himself.

Watters recounted an exchange he had with the president during the Turning Point USA AmericaFest.

“So he brings us over to the executive room and he sits down and we’re having, like, Mexican food. And he goes, ‘Jesse, do you want to see the rendition of the big beautiful ballroom?’ I said, ‘Sure, let me see it,’” he began.

“He rolls the whole thing out, and guys, I don’t know if you know this, the ballroom is huge. I said, ‘Mr. President, the ballroom is four times the size of the White House,’” he went on. “He said, ‘Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.’”
