Trump mocked the price of the Fed's renovation

On 25 July, the President of the United States, Trump, opened the White House Press Association dinner with a joke about the dinner award and then boasted that the cost of building the venue was far lower than the cost of the Fed building. Trump said, “It's great to be back where I'm familiar, because I built it.” “I'm very proud of it, because I built it at $2.9 billion lower than the Fed building, which, by the way, is much smaller.”
