Trump surprises by walking on White House roof

President Donald Trump unexpectedly appeared on the White House roof above the briefing room to inspect future construction plans. Reporters, who had been moved further down the driveway, questioned the president about his actions. Trump mentioned that the construction was related to a ballroom on the other side and described it as "something beautiful" that he was financing personally for the country.

Accompanied by a small group of aides and Secret Service, including architect Jim McCrery, Trump engaged in discussions and gestures while surveying the grounds. When asked about the specifics of the construction, Trump joked about building "nuclear missiles" and then returned inside without providing further details.
