Trump Admits He Couldve Built Ballroom Without Destroying the East Wing, But It Looked Like Hell (Mediaite)Asked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham about former First Lady Michelle Obamas criticism of the destruction of the White House East Wing, Trump said:
First of all, the East Wing was a beautiful little, tiny structure that was built many years ago, that was renovated and expanded and despanded and columns ripped out. It had nothing to do with the original building. It was a poor, sad sight, and I couldve built the ballroom around it, but it would not have been were building one of the greatest ballrooms in the world. By the way, zero money spent by the government. Zero.
He boasted, Were gonna have the best ballroom anywhere in the world, and I built a lot of them. You know that. You know a lot of them. This will be one of the greatest ballrooms in the world.

What other, "ballrooms," is he talking about having built? Something at Mar-A-Gag-O?
