Though the government has been shut down since the beginning of October 2025, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has still found time to spice up her style and espouse talking points. While taking questions on October 23, 2025, Leavitt discussed one of President Donald Trump's legacy items — his desire to build a ballroom. Trump has been actively renovating the White House during his second stint, with CNN's Kaitlan Collins revealing the work Trump had done to the Rose Garden in summer 2025. But his handling of the destruction of the East Wing has caused chaos for himself, and Leavitt.
