Reporter Spends 90 Minutes With Trump. It Gets WEIRD. (w/ Ben Terris) Tim Miller • FREE PREVIEW
Watch preview
Tim Miller sits down with New York Magazine’s Ben Terris to discuss his extraordinary reporting on Donald Trump’s obsession with the new White House ballroom. Ben spent 90 minutes with Trump, toured the ballroom construction site, and got a firsthand look at the massive project, which is already employing hundreds of workers.

Trump claims the ballroom is being built with “nuclear concrete” strong enough to withstand a nuclear blast. He also opened up to Ben about why he’s so determined to build it, agreeing that nobody else would build monuments to him after he’s gone.
Ballroom Blitz. Trump’s obsessive bid for architectural immortality is barreling toward completion.
