I was fixated by her dress that was so out of shape that she apparently was wearing body armor to her own convention. Does she normally wear it

She’s only half correct. The White house was built by white and black laborers, some indentured, some slaves, some free.

“Enslaved people quarried and cut the rough stone that was later dressed and laid by Scottish masons to erect the walls of the President’s House. The slaves joined a work force that included local white laborers and artisans from Maryland and Virginia, as well as immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and other European nations.”
