News Topical, Digital Desk : US President Donald Trump was unexpectedly seen walking on the roof of the West Wing of the White House on Tuesday. He surveyed the roof and the grounds below for about 20 minutes.
During the walk, the reporters standing on the ground below asked, "Sir, why are you on the roof?" Trump replied, "I am taking a short walk, it is good for health."
Trump was accompanied by several people, including James McCrory, the architect of the $200 million ballroom project. During this time, Trump was repeatedly pointing to the ceiling and the ground. At times, he was also answering questions of reporters while walking to the nearest corner.
I am going to make nuclear missiles: Trump
During this time, he said that he is looking for another way to spend his money for this country. Later, when Trump was asked what he was going to build, he jokingly said, ‘Nuclear missiles.’
The unexpected rooftop outing comes as Trump seeks to leave a lasting mark on the space known as the People's House. He has substantially redecorated the Oval Office with golden decorations, cherubs, photos of the president and other items and installed giant flagpoles on the North and South Lawns so the U.S. flag can be flown.
Last week, the Trump administration announced that construction on the massive ballroom would begin in September and be ready in early 2029, before Trump's term ends.
