President Donald Trump sat down for a frictionless interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, where he also gave her a tour of the White House ballroom building site.
During the tour, Trump revealed that he plans to hold the next presidential inauguration in his new ballroom.
“It’s a great facility, and we’re going to have the inauguration here,” Trump announced to his daughter-in-law on Fox News. “It’s going to hold…I had mine in the Capitol. In the Capitol, I had 902 people, and it was still beautiful, but it was 902 people, and it’s not safe like this.”
He added that future presidents will be using his ballroom for “200 years,” and noted that he won’t get much use out of it at all.
“I’ll have it for about six months. In other words, when it’s finished … I’ll only have the use of it for six months,” Trump said in the interview that was taped earlier this week.
The president’s interview aired just hours after Trump spent most of the day ranting about a federal judge who ruled he had to take his name off the Kennedy Center and suspend his renovation plans.
The family chat began with Trump delivering his usual talking points against Democrats and lauding himself for his various military actions in Iran.
Before the tour began, Lara Trump accused the media of “melting down” over Trump’s project, which saw the partial demolition and irreversible alteration to one of the most important historical sites in the nation, all without the approval of Congress or any input from the public.
“Unsurprisingly … left-wing pundits are melting down over the ballroom project. So, what’s all the fuss about?” Lara Trump said.
During their tour, Trump insisted that the ballroom was a “gift to America.”
“From me, and from Apple, and from lots of great people and companies,” Trump said, before citing its $400 million price tag, which he says has been fully raised by private donors.
Trump bragged on his new ballroom, saying it would be both the “greatest” facility of its kind and that it will be the “most secure facility ever built.” He said that both the military and the Secret Service are involved in the project.
Lara Trump was also given a look at construction for the UFC fight on the South Lawn for the president’s 80th birthday.
