Donald Trump found himself at the centre of fresh ridicule after an unusually rambling speech aboard Air Force One, where a lengthy and meandering explanation about a 'magnificent ballroom' quickly spiralled into a moment that critics seized upon as out of touch and tone deaf.
Speaking to reporters mid flight, Trump launched into an extended description of a planned ballroom project, detailing everything from hand carved Corinthian columns to bulletproof glass windows. What appeared to begin as a routine update soon turned into a wandering monologue filled with architectural praise and repeated claims about its grandeur.
