Jesse Watters Says Trump Told Him Why He’s Really Building His Ballroom — And It’s Gross

Here’s just hoping that President Donald Trump’s monstrosity of a ballroom becomes the Barack Obama Immigration Center someday.

Over the weekend, Fox News host Jesse Watters regaled the audience at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, with a little anecdote about Trump’s massive ego.

Or to be more specific, Watters said the president revealed to him the real reason why he’s building his baroque ballroom.

According to Watters, he was recently dining on — of all things — Mexican food with the president in the White House when Trump asked Watters if he wanted to see the plans for his “big, beautiful ballroom.”

“I said, ‘Sure, let me see it,’” Watters said. “[Trump] rolls the whole thing out. And guys, I don’t know if you know this — the ballroom is huge. Like, I said, ‘Mr. President, the ballroom is four times the size of the White House.’”

Watters continued, “He said, ‘Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.’”

At this, Watters chuckled while the audience erupted with laughter.
