However, he took the opportunity to speak about the ballroom that is under construction. He said (h/t NBC News):“This is a special structure. It’s going to be not only one of the biggest, but it’ll be the most beautiful ballroom, I think, anywhere in the world, and they’ve been trying to get it for 150 years.”“This will be something very special. And so we’re putting up the last piece of steel. I thought it would be appropriate to have the media here,” he added.He further congratulated the team working on its construction and said:“The whole thing is a miracle, and it’s all because of you.”He added that he was doing this because the White House needs to be "pristine" as it is the "ultimate symbol of America".The reporters then asked the POTUS about the midterm election results. Some suggested that the Republicans lost due to the rising fuel prices. Acknowledging that it was "largely true", he said:“At the same time, if I had it to do again, I’d have to do it again because long term it’s the only answer. You can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”He added that he would get along well with the Democrats "unless they want to be destructive".Also Read: "I've done a sh***y job as President": Jimmy Fallon puts Trump on the spot in post-midterms 'interview'
