House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) gave reporters a brief history lesson on White House renovations during a Wednesday morning press conference, adding that those who oppose President Donald Trump’s ballroom renovation “have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Johnson addressed reporters in his 22nd press briefing during the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history. House GOP leaders repeatedly pointed out that Democratic leadership will oppose Trump “for everything he does, it doesn’t matter what it is,” as Johnson put it.
