“When we had a press conference, you’d sink into the mud. It was grass and it was very wet, always wet and damp and wet and if it rained it would take three, four, five days to dry out and we couldn’t use it really for the intended purpose,” Trump said by way of excuse.
A concrete Rose Garden.
While Trump is not preoccupied with running the country, he has other redesign plans for the White House, including a $200 million ‘golden’ ballroom.
