In answer to your more important question, no, we don't need this ballroom. You want to help national security. The ballroom has nothing to do with it. Help national security by funding DHS? We don't want to fund it. We don't want to approve it. It is not necessary. It's typical of what is wrong with Donald Trump, focusing on the wrong things that appease his ego and don't help the American people one bit. (22:13–22:20)
