Trump Responds To Ossoff: “You Mean Pee-Wee Herman?”
President Donald Trump on Monday responded to criticism from Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) at a rally on Sunday.
REPORTER: Jon Ossoff said, would you rather travel with your aide, Natalie Harp, and build the ballroom than do your job as president? What is your response, Jon Ossoff? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You mean Pee Wee Herman? Pee Wee Herman lookalike? No, I would much rather do other things. We’re building a great facility here. We’re fixing a White House that hasn’t been taken care of. You can look at this. This room was a disgraceful situation, the Oval Office, and it was let go. The whole building, the White House, was let go. The exteriors were falling apart. The columns were falling apart. The whole place was a mess. In addition, they’ve been trying to get a ballroom for the last 150 years. And when I said I was going to build a ballroom, the military asked if they could see me. And they say, sir, we have an opportunity to go down deep into the ground and build a military facility to go with the White House and to go with all of Washington, D.C., which would be so valuable. And then they came up with a drone port on top, which would be a major drone port to protect the White House and all of D.C. And all of those things added up, and it became much more than just a ballroom. And I said to myself, wow, what an opportunity. I mean, if I was just going to build a ballroom, I could have had it built very quickly because I do these-I build very well and very quickly. We went five stories down into the ground. We did a lot of tremendous things for the military, things that they could never get.
