President Donald Trump declined a request from White House reporters to build a larger and more comfortable press briefing room. During an interaction with the press on August 11, 2025, Trump responded to a reporter's question about constructing a "big, beautiful briefing room" by saying, "No. I don't want you to be comfortable. I don't want to do that." This exchange occurred while Trump was discussing the construction of a new ballroom in the White House. His remarks were met with laughter from those present. The president emphasized that he did not intend to make life easier or more comfortable for the press corps, underscoring his stance against upgrading the briefing facilities despite the ongoing development of other White House spaces.
When the President of the United States is so afraid of your questions that he has to use the @SecretService to block you from the briefing room, you thank God for giving you a good brain. Right now, some of you are in love with Trump. So when he bans journalists, you rejoice, https://t.co/jZTilvvVXg
Although @nypost killed the story because Trump is now in power, a New York Post reporter was told that when the @JoeBiden @WhiteHouse was about to ban me, the White House counsel advised them not to. The Secret Service refused telling @K_JeanPierre there was no reason. The guy https://t.co/KH5rEtesPl
President @realDonaldTrump and @SusieWiles are using the Secret Service to block me from the briefing room. Why? Because the President of the United States is afraid of my questions. Let that sink in. They have shamelessly kept in place the ban put in place by President @JoeBiden https://t.co/kJnKGQJmiJ
