Media respectfully asks trump about losing his friend Charlie Kirk, and his answer [View all]

says everything, both about the journalist and him.
Journalist: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

Trump: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years."
