He swiftly turned to information protection of demolition on the White Home as crews are anticipated to tear down your entire East Wing by this weekend to make means for the president’s 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom.
Trump, in remarks from the White Home on Tuesday, instructed that presidents have needed a “world-class” ballroom for 150 years.
Meyers took subject with Trump’s feedback.
“I don’t keep in mind JFK ever saying, ‘Ask not what your nation can do for you, ask how one can construct a ballroom to your nation,’” he joked.
