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.

    Maybe Trump heard Lewis Black’s bit about building “a big fucking thing”. He’s gonna build a ballroom restaurant, a ballroom hotel and casino, a ballroom SPA!

    although, in Black’s bit, he suggested using the construction of the big fucking thing to create jobs. Trump is trying to build a big fucking thing without paying people for it.
