President Donald Trump presented giant mockups of his controversial White House ballroom to members of the media on Sunday just hours after its design flaws were exposed.
The president appeared on Air Force One after experts writing for the New York Times highlighted multiple flaws in the ballroom’s design, including the use of fake windows, columns that “block interior ballroom view,” stairs that lead to nowhere, and an “unnecessarily big” rooftop area.
Brandishing large boards featuring mocked-up images of what his $400 million ballroom will look like once completed, the president told reporters, “I thought I’d do this now because I’m so busy, I don’t have time to do this—I’m fighting wars and other things, but this is very important because this is going to be with us for a long time, and I think it’ll be the greatest ballroom anywhere in the world.”
