President Donald Trump surprised reporters on Tuesday by appearing on the roof of the White House and joking about the installation of “nuclear missiles” and at the same time examining building plans.
Trump, lined with snipers and architects, spent 20 minutes walking over a press briefing room and waving the journalists below. When he asked what he was planning to build, he laughed and imitated the missile with his arm.
The stuntman came in the middle of the growing tension with Russia after Trump ordered two nuclear submarines last week.
Trump’s rocket Quip was not quite random. A few days earlier he deployed submarines after Medvedev referred to the Russian nuclear system of the “dead hand” and indicated a catastrophic retaliation.
Although Medvedev has no real power today, Trump called his words “foolish and inflammatory”.
Safety experts noted that US nuclear submarines are constantly guarding the oceans, suggesting that Trump’s step was symbolic.
Meanwhile, Russia downplayed this threat, with one official boasting that he had “significantly more nuclear submarines” than America. The exchange emphasizes the stopping of Ukraine peaceful interviews frustrating Trump, which gave Russia a 10 -day term ceasefire.
The visit of the roof focused on Trump’s $ 200 million project, which was ready to replace the eastern wing. Shouting at reporters and called it “another way to spend his money on this country” insists that it will last private funds, not dollars of taxpayers, will cover costs.
Architect James McCrery accompanied him and reviewed plans for a 650-seat designed for large events. Trump aggressively reconstructed the White House, including the pavement of the Rose Garden for “Women on the Heels” and adding gold details to the oval office. Ballroom, scheduled for completion by 2029, would be the largest upgrade of property over a century.
Trump’s roof walk continued her taste for dramatic visual elements. The past pieces include the descent of a golden escalator that will announce their campaign in 2016 and serve McDonald’s reporters.
Although the American chairmen used the roof before: Jimmy Carter installed solar panels and William Taft added a sleeping porch on hot nights.
Critics called Tuesday’s act ruthless due to nuclear tension, but supporters saw classic Trump shows. As one social media user joked: “Just the president is walking … describes renovation”.
