"Ooh, that's music to my ears. I love that sound, Trump said, while holding his hand up to his right ear. The move was reminiscent of recently departed MAGA fan Hulk Hogan, who would make a similar gesture inside the ring. Other people don't like it I love it, Josh, Trump continued, while pointing to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and drawing a few chuckles from the crowd."
"His quip comes a day after demolition began on the East Wing of the White House in order to make room for the $250 million ballroom Trump spearheaded. The New York Post reported, as construction workers maneuver excavators and cranes, that windows facing the Treasury Department are smashed and half-off their hinges, and the former upper-floor White House calligraphy office bears a gaping hole."
"Trump has championed the fact that taxpayers are not pitching in a dime for the new ballroom. Instead, it is being funded by private donors and donations from companies like Apple and Amazon. Not every American has been thrilled with Trump's revamp, though. Democratic politicians like Hillary Clinton and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) have complained about the ballroom, with Clinton saying on Tuesday Trump was destroying the White House."
President Trump paused during a White House speech to relish the clanging of construction on a new ballroom, making a hand-to-ear gesture and joking that the sound reminded him of money and the cost he was bearing. Demolition began on the East Wing to make room for the $250 million ballroom, and reports described smashed windows and a gaping hole in the former calligraphy office. Trump emphasized that taxpayers are not funding the project, citing private donors and corporate contributions from companies including Apple and Amazon. Several Democratic politicians and some media figures criticized the renovation and described it as damaging to the White House.
