U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick shares that he has late-night phone calls with President Trump “to talk about things he’s building because it’s fun for him.” <\/p>\n
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE HOWARD LUTNICK: And there are two things that he does for enjoyment. He plays golf on the weekend and he builds. He loves to build. So this, like, why are we talking about this? This is what he enjoys. So late at night, 11 o’clock at night, he calls me and wants to talk about things he’s building because it’s fun for him. This is his enjoyment. And you’ve seen he’s the most transparent person. He talks all day about the things he’s doing. Right. And the only thing he does during the week that is not work because everybody works. I’m like, if you sat with him, would you have a nice chat with him? No, you’d ask him about Iran. Then you’d ask him about this. Then you’d ask him about that. Everybody does that. And the one thing he likes to do during the week is construction. So I am helping him so he can enjoy constructing the Kennedy Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
