""I think very good," he responded before immediately changing the topic to the ballroom he's having built at the White House. "And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. It'll be an absolutely magnificent structure.""
Charlie Kirk's death prompted public attention to reactions from political figures. One response to a reporter's condolence question shifted immediately from personal loss to details about construction of a new White House ballroom, including visible trucks and plans described as an "absolutely magnificent structure." The ballroom was described as a long-pursued project spanning roughly 150 years. That juxtaposition drew criticism and a succinct, sarcastic seven-word characterization calling the reaction "a display of grief." The exchange highlighted a contrast between expressions of condolence and comments about a domestic building project at the presidential residence.
