President Donald Trump struggled with reading his own large handwritten notes during a press conference discussing the construction of his White House ballroom. The president, who signed an executive order aimed at cracking down on mail-in voting in the Oval Office, struggled to read his own notes and explained his plans to work around the judge's decision to halt the construction. He also mentioned the safety and security of the White House and grounds, including a bulletproof roof and bulletproof glass. The White House responded by praising the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in American history. In the press conference, Trump also took a playful but pointed swipe at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, calling her "a terrible job" and suggesting keeping her.
