Jesse Watters claimed that Donald Trump told him he's building the massive White House ballroom as a 'monument' to himself 'because no one else will.' Construction on the controversial ballroom began in October 2025.

Jesse Watters claims Donald Trump told him he is constructing the new White House ballroom as a “monument” to himself — and that he’s doing it “because no one else will.”

The Fox News host recounted the alleged conversation while speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, a multiday conservative conference and festival in Phoenix, on Saturday, Dec. 20. A video of the moment has since been posted on X.

    Was Ronnie hiding a trove of sexual assault evidence because I feel that is going to make a huge difference.

      He also wasn’t profiting off his office nor helping his donors stay above the law. And his violations of human rights were at least outside the country, instead of also against his own people

      Reagan may have started this huge swing to the right, to authoritarianism, but I seriously doubt he’d recognize how far it’s gone. And he would seem entirely centrist , relative to the current travesty

      Fair. Even some of the most low-info geniuses that bought tons of Taco merch might finally turn on him (or at least hide/burn all their Nazi regalia) if it finally sinks in that most people don’t like pedos.

      That’s an if. Their crutch is fake news like Faux. If they can prop up the notion that Taco being a pedo is “fake news”, they might cling to him like bitter old cons hung onto Nixon…

        I see that working short term but once Trump is dead, there is less value in propping up a pedo. He actually becomes very convient scape goat

          “He was maga, but he wasn’t maga enough.”

          Just like conservatism and Republicanism can never really fail, it’s just that people fail conservativism/Republicanism. According to conservatives/Republicans. Ironically enough, they parrot the attitudes of Communists, LOL.

          It will be the same when it comes to “maga” (which is just more of the same conservative/Republican pile of shit with a dumb acronym attached and the racism more blatant.).
