President Trump has turned his attention to White House renovations following a significant election defeat for the Republican Party. On Wednesday, he detailed his plans to enhance the under-construction White House ballroom by adding Corinthian columns. “You’ll be able to have dinners for as many people as you want,” Trump said, referencing the ballroom’s future capacity.
The President spoke at the East Wing ballroom construction site, expressing his enthusiasm despite the previous day’s election results. Construction on the White House ballroom continues, visible from the Washington Monument. “We ordered the marble for the floor. The marble is magnificent. It’s a vein that people have sought for 50 years,” Trump remarked.
Trump also mentioned the new White House helipad, noting, “It’s so good I never even got sued.” This event echoed his earlier address at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool where he spoke about renovations there, taking some time to discuss the upcoming elections.
As the election results unfolded, a majority of voters expressed concerns. Exit polls showed that 71% of voters feel Congress must counteract Trump’s actions, and 62% blamed him for rising costs. Incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) committed to obstructing Trump’s policies using what he termed “legislative razor wire.”
