During a recent crowded White House press conference, President Donald Trump made comments that highlighted a sharp difference between his administration’s plans for a fancy new ballroom and the ongoing cramped conditions of the press briefing area.
When asked about the possibility of improving the space for journalists, the President refused the idea, saying he had no interest in making the media’s work environment more comfortable. Trump said, “No, I don’t want to do that. I don’t want you to be comfortable,” Trump joked, sparking laughter in the crowd of reporters. “No, I don’t want to make life comfortable.” The main topic of discussion was a plan to build a large new ballroom at the White House.
