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.

    There’s tons of misinformation and hero worship that takes place in spite of easily available evidence to the contrary. If you control the narrative effectively enough no one will even question it enough to seek out that information.

      Yes but my point is, there will no longer be an incentive to suppress negative information about him.

      There must be so many people with evidence and testimony that could really harm him, but they won’t release it or do anything with it for fear of reprisal.
