Trump plays White House tour guide to show off work on his helipad and ballroom

President Donald Trump, on Wednesday, took on the role of White House tour guide, highlighting his ongoing construction projects. He showcased the helipad he is constructing on the White House lawn, boasting about its impressive granite construction, which he claims could withstand immense pressure. Trump also discussed the ballroom he is racing to complete despite legal challenges, emphasizing its potential security benefits.

The president stated that the new walkway and portion of the driveway would be made from white granite, a material he believes is superior to asphalt. He has previously suggested that his work on the Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool would last a century, but that project's paint has since faded and its liner has peeled away. Trump further boasted about the $400 million ballroom adding security to the White House, predicting that the Supreme Court will eventually rule in his favor to allow the project's completion.
