Trump seriously suggested that he wants a swimming pool in the White House

Donald Trump proposed transforming the White House press room into a swimming pool, suggesting the removal of journalists. This idea was discussed during an August meeting with his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. Trump has previously expressed similar intentions during his first term. Recently, he redirected funds from the Secret Service budget for this renovation. The press room was originally a swimming pool used by Franklin Roosevelt. In September, Trump banned journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS Now, citing misinformation, but a federal court blocked this order, allowing them back. Trump is also involved in the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool, which has faced challenges.
