Washington, United States: US President Donald Trump spoke at length about his new White House ballroom on Wednesday, delivering his first public remarks since the midterm election from the construction site.
"It's going to be not only one of the biggest, but it'll be the most beautiful ballroom I think anywhere in the world," Trump told reporters -- without initially talking about the midterms in which Democrats swept Congress.
