On August 5, President Donald Trump made headlines with a historic first for a sitting president: a stroll on the roof of the White House.<\/p>\n
Reporters below were stunned as Trump waved, pointed, and chatted animatedly with aides and architect Jim McCrery while overlooking the South Lawn.When asked about his rooftop visit, Trump smiled and said, \u201cJust taking a little walk.\u201d Yet this wasn\u2019t a casual moment. He was surveying the site for a bold new project \u2014 a 90,000-square-foot ballroom announced just last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt goes with the ballroom, which is on the other side,\u201d he explained. \u201cSomething beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Funding the Vision Himself
\nTrump said the $200 million ballroom project will be funded entirely by his personal contributions and private donations.
\n\u201cAnything I do is financed by me,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cJust like my salary is contributed. But nobody ever mentions that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
