Trump Told Jesse Watters He's Building White House Ballroom as a 'Monument' to Himself 'Because No One Else Will' [View all]
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.
Watters, 47, told the large crowd that he was sharing a meal with Trump, 79, when the president asked him if he wanted to see a rendition of “the big, beautiful ballroom.”
“I said, ‘Sure, let me see it,’ “ Watters continued. “He [Trump] rolls the whole thing out. And guys, I don't know if you know this — the ballroom is huge. Like, I said, ‘Mr. President, the ballroom is four times the size of the White House.' ”
“He said, ‘Jesse, it's a monument. I'm building a monument to myself — because no one else will,' " Watters added, eliciting loud laughs from the audience.
