Jesse Watters claims Donald Trump told him he is constructing the new White House ballroom as a “monument” to himself — and that he’s doing it “because no one else will.”

The Fox News host recounted the alleged conversation while speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, a multiday conservative conference and festival in Phoenix, on Saturday, Dec. 20. A video of the moment has since been posted on X.

There’s a good documentary called “the brainwashing of my father” or something like that. It’s very good.

You tapped into things I’ve thought about a lot. Being a salesman, being interested in cults and history (shout out to behind the bastards)

We a rationalizing machines not thinking machines. We have a hunch instantaneously and tend to fight to protect that hunch even when proven wrong. It’s a real problem.

My father went from making videos about the homeless needing help to “a million immigrants a day cross the boarder!!!!”

It was tragic to see him fall. He died a a couple years ago. I rember him as the good man he used to be.
