Trump said he decided to wear the pin after receiving it, calling it a \u201cHappy Trump."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On the same day, during a meeting with nearly two dozen top oil and gas executives, Trump rose from his chair mid-remarks and walked over to a window to look out at the construction site of the new ballroom. \u201cIf we had a ballroom, we\u2019d have over a thousand people," he said, before stopping himself to take a look. \u201cWell, I gotta look at this myself\u2026 Wow. What a view. This is the door to the ballroom," he remarked, drawing light laughter from those present and inviting the media to observe the progress as well.<\/p>\n Trump described it as an \u201cunusual time to look" at the construction but noted that the project was moving ahead of schedule. The White House ballroom project was announced in October 2025 as part of efforts to modernise the building and better accommodate large gatherings. Officials have said the construction is privately funded and does not involve taxpayer money.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Trump suddenly interrupted a meeting with oil executives\u201cHold on, I need to look at my beautiful ballroom" \u2014 then got up and walked to the door.<\/p>\n \u201cWow.
