President Trump bragged that his new ballroom will include “impenetrable steel” walls and “impenetrable glass” windows that can withstand “an unlimited number of drones.”

“The roof is a barrier. It’s a shield,” he explained. “The side walls are steel, impenetrable steel, and also impenetrable glass. The glass is approximately 4 inches thick, and yet it’s amazing. You can see through it as though it didn’t exist, and it can stop just about anything.”

He also said it can repel any drones that fly overhead. “Again, we call it a drone port. It’s set up for unlimited numbers of drones,” he said.

Trump also said the building will have a flat roof with no air conditioning units or any other feature.

“We don’t want anything coming down through the pipes,” he explained. “We built it all inside the building … because we don’t want to have anything having to do with air or air quality or any problems playing with the air. So, you’ll notice it’s a dead flat roof with no equipment on it. All of the equipment is inside of the building, and that’s for safety reasons.”
