And further adding to the Trump WH's classy ambience...

President Donald Trump tested out the new outdoor speakers outside the freshly remodeled Rose Garden at the White House, playing some of his favorite hits that echoed beyond the White House driveway.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brought reporters out into the garden to witness the event.

The president initially sparked interest after the familiar peals of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA began, followed by Pavarotti's 'Nessun dorma,' Elvis Presley's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' and Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful.'

'The president wanted me to let all of you know that he is testing the speakers for what will be the best event in the history of the White House,' Leavitt said, previewing a future event to be determined in the upcoming days.
