Ossoff, during a rally, mocked Trump\u2019s frequent travel with aide Natalie Harp and criticized the president for neglecting more pressing issues like military operations, suggesting he prefers leisure activities like golf and stock trading over presidential duties.In turn, Trump dismissed Ossoff as a \u201cPee-Wee Herman look-alike\u201d and defended his efforts to renovate the White house, citing security concerns and the need for a larger, more secure space to host dignitaries like Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump emphasized that the white House\u2019s current facilities are inadequate, and described upgrades including bulletproof, drone-proof features.
