President Donald Trump was widely mocked after footage from a meeting at the White House on Friday about energy policy showed how he suddenly got up to admire the renovations on his new ballroom through a window.
Several months ago, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.
Construction started during the recent government shutdownâat the same time that the Trump administration announced that families would not receive SNAP benefits as scheduled. The administration also refused to release contingency funds that would ensure families that rely on these payments don't go hungry.
Trump got up during a meeting with oil industry executives, including leaders from Chevron and Exxon, as part of an effort to secure billions of dollars in new investment in Venezuelaâs oil sector.
He exclaimed:
"Wow! Look at that view. This is the door to the ballroom."

Shortly afterward, an X user posted a modified version of the clip that replaced the windows with a green screen, racking up more than 27,000 likes and 1,000 reposts within 24 hours and inviting users to remix the scene with their own edits.
Oone user responded by sharing a version where the Bowser fart GIF has been placed outside the window.
There's a version where Trump is distracted by peek-a-boo.
There's a version where Trump can't help but be distracted by a steamy scene from Heated Rivalry.
There's one where he looks out at hell.
There's a version where he's looking at old footage of him with the late financier, pedophile, and sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epsteinâwe're guessing he's enjoying a trip down memory lane.
There's one where he's enjoying a soccer match.
There's one where he's watching the Doge meme just fly by behind the wheel of a car.
There's... whatever this is.
And while the results are funny, other people are just more annoyed by the fact that this man is somehow still president.
We laugh so we don't cry.
