Trump shows press construction site of his new ballroom

President Donald Trump took reporters to the construction site of his new ballroom.

“This is a room that’s been wanted for 150 years by presidents,” Trump said of the ballroom.

Trump has renderings of the building on easels as he explains the various components, including what he calls a “drone-free” roof.

“One thing doesn’t work without the other,” he said.

Trump said the ballroom will be paid for by donors and himself.

Republicans in Congress are grappling with a $1 billion funding request to cover all the security elements.
