Trump is a MENTAL INFANT. He wanted a "chandelier in the Oval Office" but the ceiling couldn't handle the weight. [View all]

White House staff were forced to step in to stop President Donald Trump from hanging a potentially damaging chandelier in the Oval Office, according to a new book by Republican strategist Scott Jennings.

The problem wasn’t aesthetic. It was physics. The ceiling couldn’t hold it, Jennings writes in A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization.

In the $25 book, CNN’s resident MAGA pundit recounts a visit to the Oval Office when Trump floated the idea from behind the Resolute Desk: “I’m thinking of putting a chandelier in here… Right through the shield there on the ceiling.”

However, White House staff later investigated the request, Jennings writes, discovering that the Oval Office ceiling “couldn’t hold the weight.” CNN reported in March that Trump had “toyed” with the idea of hanging the light fixture.
