Trump downplays midterms horror show in first public appearance focused on his White House vanity projects
Daily Mail ^ | November 4, 2026 | Charlie Spierling

Donald Trump focused on his lavish White House ballroom in his first public appearance since Democrats seized control of the House and Senate.

The President largely ignored the disastrous midterm results that have left his political legacy in jeopardy, instead showing off the construction of his $600million vanity project to reporters on Wednesday morning...

Trump invited the press to view his ongoing construction efforts and spoke at length about the progress on his personal vanity projects.

'It's going to be not only one of the biggest, but it'll be the most beautiful ballroom, I think, anywhere in the world,' he said.

Trump displayed a large piece of steel behind him, where workers had signed it as it was going to be the last steel beam used in construction.

He also signed the beam, placing his personal stamp on the project as a group of White House staffers and workers applauded...

Trump said he found the projects personally rewarding as he focused on making the White House more beautiful.

'I like it, it's good. For me it's relaxing,' he said. 'I like beautiful things.'

He previewed the installation of 'magnificent columns' that would be the 'creme de la creme' in the Corinthian design.

Trump gave reporters a tour of the structure, commenting on the process as workers raised the last beam of steel into the ceiling.

'Envision chandeliers all over the ceiling, envision marble floors, this is going to be the most beautiful room,' he said, describing it as 'a piece of art.'

'See the thickness and size of that steel? You can land anything on that roof but it will be all drones,' Trump added.

He also described the new building as 'droneproof' and 'bulletproof.'

President Trump told us from the beginning he’d never let the enemy know what he’s going to do.

And like all his promises, he’s kept this one very well.

Anything he does, says or thinks is wrong. He’s Trump. He’s bad. They hate him. He can’t do anything right

One thing he is not going to do is jump on the hate Trum pile

Not going to happen

There are communist posters on this website, using the tactic of infiltration.

But not one of them knows, deep in their own mind, why they’re doing it.

Not one.

Trump’s party got hit pretty hard last night, but ballrooms are a priority.

Illegal ballots can never make Texas blue.

Did you know wavelength of blue light is .45-.47 micrometers?

The media expected him to cower. Instead he is showing defiance. I like that. But as long as mentally he is evaluating things.

What effin horror show?

Trump will just keep governing the same way he has been

Anyway, my take on last night

BTW, obama and clinton lost by bigger margins in the second term of their presidency

We will manage this just fine. Until the next election cycle, like, we always do

LOL

Nothing much will change from the White House

Trump will continue to govern the same he and all other presidents govern with a congress hostile to their agenda.

and therefor didn’t require house approval.

Obligated us in the Paris climate accord, for the sole purpose of disadvantaging the USA.

Trump will continue his presidency in the same vein as Clinton/Obama
Internationally, he hasn’t required much interaction from Congress and will likely continue to issue executive orders on the domestic agenda.

There really wasn’t a plan for major legislation in the next two years, and he will have to accept congress will absolutely not approve any nominations during the same period.

Everyone will continue to carp about the other side, as has been the hallmark of this Great Nation for the last 250 years.

There ain’t going to be coalition of 61 votes in opposition to the veto pen and an impossible hurdle of 67 votes for removal is just so much craptastic hoping from the other side.

Sohhhh….Ain’t nothing changing except the whining.

Onward to 2028

May the best ideas win…

IMHO, POTUS should keep on keeping on!

Continue to execute his agenda — “Damn the torpedoes — Full speed ahead!”
