2:32Now PlayingPresident Trump responded Monday to Sen. Jon Ossoff's (D-GA) claim that he would rather build a ballroom and travel with aide Natalie Harp than do his job as president.
"You mean the Pee-wee Herman lookalike?" he told reporters in the Oval Office. "I would much rather do other things. We're building a great facility here … They've been trying to have a ballroom at the White House for many, many years."
Sen. Ossoff, who's running for reelection in Georgia and is seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender, made the remarks at a rally in Atlanta on Sunday.
"While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings," he said. "He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar."
