"We have a lot of great service members here with us to in this beautiful building. Isn't it beautiful? We're adding on to the building a little bit. We're improving the building. See that nice drape when that comes down, right now, you see a very, very deep hole. But in about a year and a half from now, you're going to see a very, very beautiful building."
"The only president in history who, in the third day of a war, is talking to the w[orld about curtains and ballroom renovations instead of addressing the military conflict and casualties among American servicemembers.]"
At a Medal of Honor ceremony, President Trump discussed an ongoing conflict with Iran while also delivering an extended tangent about renovations to the White House East Room and ballroom. He detailed plans for gold curtains, doors, and described the upcoming ballroom as potentially the most beautiful in the world. MS NOW host Lawrence O'Donnell criticized Trump for prioritizing these aesthetic concerns during active military conflict that had resulted in American casualties. O'Donnell also compared Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's statement about eliminating rules of engagement to Nazi military practices, drawing parallels between the Trump administration's military approach and historical authoritarian regimes.
