Tacky AF: A Big Beautiful Ballroom
President Donald Trump on Tuesday made a verbal flub as he tried to brag about what made up a newly-installed “Presidential Walk of Fame” sign at the White House.
Trump — who broke down his White House renovations during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham — pointed to a sign at the start of a row of (mostly) presidential portraits located on the West Colonnade.
“So that’s half-inch thick bronze, carved — by a very talented person,” said Trump as Ingraham looked on.
“And it’s brass, it’s pure brass, it’s half-inch thick brass. And you can’t just do that, that’s — you know, you look at that, that’s quality, right?”
- Bronze and brass are different alloys and colors, with the former having a reddish brown appearance and being primarily composed of copper and tin.
If Mr. Trump’s first term was about figuring out what he had the power to do, the second term is about just doing it – from policy to politics to a White House makeover. The anti-Trump outrage machine is responding as expected, with some suggesting that the ballroom project is another sign that he intends to stay in power beyond his second term and make good use of the new event space.
Critics also say the private funding of White House renovations opens the door to contributions from people trying to curry favor with the president, including foreign actors. So far, donor identities have not been disclosed.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO KICKSTARTER BACKERS: Your pledges were processed on October 31, and now we need to collect postage and sales tax, and also get your shipping address. You should have received a backer survey from Kickstarter, but if you missed that, here’s an easy workaround: Either go to the campaign page and click Respond Now at the top, or use this link to go straight to the pledge manager.
I want you all to get your books! It’s why I put myself through this whole process, which has pretty much consumed my life since summer. We’re almost at the goal line, don’t drop the ball now! (If you have any problems, please contact us through Kickstarter — my campaign manager won’t see it here.)
And if you missed the campaign entirely, you can still make a late pledge, until we run out of books or early December, whichever comes first.
