He inspected the site of the future ballroom which he will have, under the eyes of dozens of agglutinated journalists below, at a good distance.
Asked what he intended to build, he replied, certainly to joke: “missiles” then “nuclear missiles”, before mimicking with his arm, it seems, the launch of such a machine.
The former property developer said that he was “taking a walk”.

“It’s just another way to spend my money on the country,” said the billionaire, assuring that he was funding the renovation work undertaken at the White House at his request.
Tensions
The United States and Russia have been engaged in rhetorical escalation for several days.
Donald Trump recently announced that he had ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia, in response to statements deemed provocative by ex-president Dmitri Medvedev, who has multiplied martial comments on Westerners on social networks since 2022.
Moscow has raised a moratorium on the deployment of weapons of intermediate range, accusing Washington of stirring the arms race.

In trace
The American president is determined to leave his fingerprint very concretely to the White House, inspired by the style responsible for its private property.
He paved the lawn of the famous rose garden and covered the oval office of golden ornaments.
The 79 -year -old leader above all announced the construction of a massive reception room, in what promises to be the heaviest site at the 1600 Pennsylvania avenue for more than a century.
He assured that the work, estimated at $ 200 million, would be funded by itself as well as by private donors, while indicating that it could well be, in the end, the only one to pay.
Former reality TV host, Trump is a specialist in half, half-local appearances, who rejoice his supporters and provide television channels with images with which they are fressed.
In 2015, he announced his candidacy for the presidential election after slowly raising a golden mechanical staircase, a scene that remained in all memories.
During the last presidential campaign, he staged himself in the cabin of a poubelle truck or serving fries in a McDonald’s restaurant.
