President Trump Declines Reporters’ Request for Larger Press Briefing Room Amid Big Ballroom Plans

President Donald Trump declined a request from White House reporters to build a larger press briefing room during a recent interaction. When asked about the possibility of constructing a "big, beautiful briefing room" to accommodate more reporters, Trump responded that he did not want to make the press corps comfortable and therefore would not approve the upgrade. This exchange occurred amid discussions of building a new, large ballroom in the White House, which Trump confirmed but distinguished from the press briefing area. His remarks were met with laughter in the room, highlighting his direct and dismissive stance toward the press corps' request for improved facilities.
