I thought the exchange was funny... it was a poke at Trump.
Also, it was a very interesting article.
But few rooms have changed so much so fast as his dining room, where he often eats his lunch amid stacks of newspapers and briefing sheets. A few weeks back, the President ordered a gutting of the room. We found gold behind the walls, which I always knew. Renovations are grand, he says, boasting that contractors from the General Services Administration resurfaced the walls and redid the moldings in two days. Remember how hard they worked? They wanted to make me happy.
The waiters know well Trumps personal preferences. As he settles down, they bring him a Diet Coke, while the rest of us are served water, with the Vice President sitting at one end of the table. With the salad course, Trump is served what appears to be Thousand Island dressing instead of the creamy vinaigrette for his guests. When the chicken arrives, he is the only one given an extra dish of sauce. At the dessert course, he gets two scoops of vanilla ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, instead of the single scoop for everyone else. The tastes of Pence are also tended to. Instead of the pie, he gets a fruit plate.
