A day after the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections, President Trump held a meeting with journalists in which he focused mainly on construction projects at the White House, including a ballroom and a helicopter landing pad. Trump admitted that the high prices caused by the war in Iran led to losses, but insisted he had no other choice and added that he would go to war again. The hall is expected to be completed in 2028, but the Democrats could delay its construction when they take power in January. Nearly two-thirds of voters stated that the president's priorities are wrong. The headline hints at a strange comfort, but the body describes a relatively routine media meeting.
