In a week filled with political noise, Donald Trump has once again proven that no one commands a room—or a construction site—quite like he does. During a Rose Garden luncheon with Senate Republicans, the President leaned into his role as “America’s Tour Guide,” offering not just a glimpse into the future of the White House, but a scandalous peek into its past. The result? A media meltdown, a history lesson on “bro code,” and a renovation controversy that has the Gutfeld! panel in stitches.

The “Swimming Pool” Bombshell

The highlight of Trump’s tour wasn’t the architecture, but the anecdotes. Standing near the West Wing, Trump pointed out the location of the old swimming pool—now covered and converted into the press briefing room. But he didn’t just talk about the tiles; he talked about the talent.

“That was the swimming pool where Jackie [Kennedy] would say, ‘I hear women inside,’” Trump recounted, mimicking the former First Lady’s suspicion. He described a scene straight out of a movie where the Secret Service had to assure her, “No ma’am, there’s no women inside,” despite the evidence to the contrary.

On Gutfeld!, the panel erupted. “He waited till everybody was dead, including the women!” laughed host Greg Gutfeld, noting the sheer audacity of Trump airing JFK’s dirty laundry decades later. Panelist Tyrus jokingly called it a violation of “bro code,” imagining JFK’s ghost looking down and saying, “There were girls in the pool, weren’t there? I knew it!”

Renovation Outrage: The “Beautiful Sound” of Money

Beyond the gossip, Trump is making physical changes to the People’s House, including extensive renovations to the East Wing and the construction of a grand new ballroom. Describing the noise of construction machinery as “music to my ears,” Trump joked that while others hate the sound, it reminds him of money—or in this case, the lack of it, since he claims to be funding improvements privately.

Predictably, the renovations have sparked outrage among liberal critics, a reaction the Gutfeld! panel found laughable.

“They’re just outraged cuz they’re outraged about anything,” said UFC star Colby Covington, who joined the panel as a guest. He didn’t mince words, calling the critics “despicable people” who would rather spend tax dollars on “DEI programs” than on beautifying the nation’s capital. Covington was particularly enthusiastic about the ballroom, suggesting it could host high-profile fights where he could “whoop someone’s ass in the name of freedom.”

Hypocrisy in the House

The segment also highlighted the selective memory of those criticizing Trump’s changes. Panelist Emily Compagno provided a history check, noting that at least 13 presidents have made major modifications to the White House.

“Be mad at Nixon for taking away the swimming pool and turning it into the press briefing room,” she argued. She pointed out that Obama turned the tennis courts into a basketball court and that every administration leaves its mark. “It’s not like he’s taking the hat of the first pilgrim and ripping it in half.”

The panel also took a swipe at the previous occupant, with a biting joke about Joe Biden’s contribution. “Joe Biden put in a chairlift,” Josh mocked, suggesting the former president was “kept in the basement” like a confused relative.

The “Fog of Trump” Continues

The overarching theme of the discussion was that for the Left, history began the moment Trump entered the scene. Actions that were standard for previous presidents—renovations, hosting events, even just existing in the White House—are treated as scandals when Trump does them.

Tyrus summed it up with a vivid hypothetical: “President Trump could have climbed that tree and found three baby kittens stuck… and they’d be like, ‘How many leaves had to die on that tree while you climbed it?’”

It’s a classic case of what Gutfeld calls the “Fog of Trump”—where hatred for the man obscures reality. But while the media fumes over construction noise and “scandalous” stories, Trump is busy building. Whether it’s a ballroom for state dinners or a narrative that dominates the news cycle, he remains the ultimate builder.

And as for the ghost of the swimming pool? Trump just reminded everyone that the White House walls have ears—and thanks to him, now we all know what they heard. “He really is America’s tour guide,” Gutfeld concluded. And on this tour, the exhibits are loud, expensive, and absolutely impossible to ignore.
