There is a Fake News report out there
that I am going to remove the White House
reporters from CNN and others from the
Press Room and bring back the old
Swimming Pool, which lies directly
(the pool, not me — I don't lie) right
underneath. Although I may move the
Fake News to a less obnoxious location,
like the bunker under the ballroom,
the old swimming pool will never be
brought back. I NEVER even thought to
ask permission for that. I'll just
do such a stupid thing! Thank you for
your attention to this matter.

- The NYT reported that Trump pitched removing the press from the briefing room to Karoline Leavitt, calling it her 'last legacy,' and raised it several times.
- He promised the ballroom wouldn't touch the existing building, then the East Wing was demolished. PolitiFact rated it a 'Full Flop.'
- He said he was told, 'you can do anything you want,' and needed no approvals.
