"The president has time to do everything but what he needs to focus on. In fact, we heard the press secretary say his main priority is the ballroom the ballroom that no one asked for. The ballroom that requires him to destroy historic pieces of the White House. And so it doesn't seem like he's interested [in the shutdown], said Crockett."
"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did say Trump's main priority is the ballroom but that was in response to a question about whether Trump had any other renovations or significant kind of projects in mind, in addition to the ballroom and Rose Garden patio revamp. Not to my knowledge, no Leavitt said last week. But he's a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
"Her comment was clipped by Acyn Torabi senior digital editor for the progressive outlet MeidasTouch and shared to X. It was captioned, Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority. Many liberals were upset by it and shared it, including California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)."
Kaitlan Collins challenged Rep. Jasmine Crockett after Crockett claimed President Donald Trump's main priority was a $300 million White House ballroom. Crockett criticized Trump for traveling to Japan during a government shutdown and said press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the ballroom as the president's main priority. Leavitt made the remark when asked about other renovations and projects in addition to the ballroom and a Rose Garden patio revamp, saying she was not aware of other projects and calling Trump 'a builder at heart.' The remark was clipped and shared online, drawing criticism from some Democrats.
