“US President Donald Trump has given reporters a tour around the construction site of his controversial White House ballroom”
VERIFIED
The web search result explicitly states that 'US President Donald Trump spoke to reporters at the construction site of his planned White House ballroom', confirming the event occurred.
“it would feature a rooftop ‘drone empire’ designed to protect the capital”
MISLEADING
The claim states the ballroom would feature a 'drone empire' to protect the capital. However, the evidence shows Trump described the facility as 'drone-proof', which means it is designed to be protected FROM drones, not to house a 'drone empire' for offensive or protective deployment.
