The Obama administration has laughed off Donald Trump's idea to put a $100 million ballroom in the White House to entertain the leaders of China and other countries.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest confirmed reports that Trump offered to build the lavish space, a proposal he characterized as "not something that was at all seriously considered."

"I'm not sure that it would be appropriate to have a shiny gold Trump sign...on any part of the White House," Earnest joked.

Earnest indicated it was his assumption that the offer would include a "shiny gold Trump sign" because "that's what most of the buildings that he offers to build include." Still, he acknowledged that it was "unclear" how Trump envisioned that the ballroom would have been marketed.

Well, it would have had to be a really big ballroom to accommodate Michelle’s butt.

“WHITE HOUSE LAUGHS OFF TRUMP’S PROPOSAL TO BUILD A $100M BALLROOM”

Difference is he would build it with his own money, but would want it to be called the President Trump ballroom.

Didn't Trump say the Chinese should be taken to McDonald's?

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they’re held for pleasure
They’re the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It’s my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

We’ve got big balls
We’ve got big balls
We’ve got big balls
Dirty big balls
He’s got big balls
She’s got big balls
(But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)
