特朗普11月4日视察白宫舞厅最后钢梁吊装：选举后首次公开露面谈建筑项目
美国总统特朗普11月4日回到白宫东翼舞厅建筑工地，视察新舞厅最后一根钢梁的吊装，并向建筑工人发表讲话。这是他在中期选举后首次公开露面，共和党在11月3日的选举中失去了众议院和参议院的控制权。特朗普在工地用黑色记号笔在钢梁上签名并写下“Love!”，随后工人们将钢梁吊装到屋顶。特朗普说，新舞厅将做到防无人机、防导弹、防子弹，成为“最安全”的建筑。
特朗普在讲话中用了约25分钟介绍他的建筑项目，然后才回答记者关于选举的问题。他谈到舞厅内部将安装科林斯柱，还提到沿波托马克河规划的美国英雄花园将“非常美丽”，以及把杰斐逊纪念堂附近的东波托马克公园开发成一座“美丽的”18洞锦标赛高尔夫球场的计划。内政部长道格·伯古姆也到场，并对项目表示赞赏。
特朗普在选举前最后阶段曾在林肯纪念堂倒影池发表讲话，宣传他的华盛顿建筑项目，但这一信息未能打动受高物价困扰的选民。11月4日当天，他表示自己没有遗憾，并对媒体说，如果他本人在选票上，共和党就会赢。讲话结束后，他穿过舞厅工地，在建筑工人的掌声中离开。
Trump Inspects Final Beam at White House Ballroom Site on November 4 in First Post-Election Appearance
President Donald Trump returned to the White House East Wing ballroom construction site on November 4 to watch the installation of the new ballroom's final steel beam and speak to construction workers. It was his first public appearance since the midterm elections, in which Republicans lost control of the House and the Senate on November 3. At the site, Trump signed the beam with a black marker, writing "Love!", before workers hoisted it to the roof. Trump said the new ballroom would be drone-proof, missile-proof and bullet-proof, becoming the "safest" building. Trump spent about 25 minutes describing his building projects before taking reporters' questions about the election. He discussed the Corinthian columns planned for the ballroom's interior, the planned American Heroes Garden along the Potomac River, which he called "very beautiful", and a plan to develop East Potomac Park near the Jefferson Memorial into a "beautiful" 18-hole championship golf course. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum also attended and praised the project. In the final stretch before the election, Trump had spoken at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to promote his Washington building projects, but the message did not move voters troubled by high prices. On November 4, Trump said he had no regrets and told reporters that if he himself had been on the ballot, Republicans would have won. After speaking, he walked through the ballroom site to applause from the construction workers.
