Donald Trump seemed to have something else on the brain when a reporter asked him how he was “holding up” after the shooting death of his friend Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
The president was asked about how his “last three and a half days” have been on a personal level in the aftermath of Kirk’s death, as the conservative activist had been close to the Trump family. Trump replied that he was holding up, “I think very good,” but seemed to prefer to discuss the construction of his new White House ballroom instead.
“And by the way,” Trump said, “right there, you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it’s going to be a beauty. It’ll be absolutely magnificent structure.”
