President Donald Trump was absolutely in his element on Wednesday when he chatted up a bunch of construction workers at the White House about the ins and outs of Hollywood and more.
Speaking to members of the press on the grounds of the newly constructed flag poles, Trump stood with a bunch of workers donning hard hats and neon yellow construction shirts.
Trump first joked that he needed to “get these guys back to work. They are making a fortune” before he started talking about them being discovered by a Hollywood producer for appearing on camera with him.
“They’re standing around making a fortune,” Trump said. “But remember this, somewhere in this group is somebody that is going to captivate some movie producer. Not Harvey Weinstein, but somebody else. Harvey’s seen a better day.”
“So, it won’t be Harvey, but it will be somebody,” he added. “And he’ll say, ‘That guy is perfect for a movie.’ And you are going to become a star. And your friends are going to call you, and you won’t even return their phone calls anymore. And you will say, ‘What do you do for a living? I put up flag poles. I’m not even going to talk to you. I’m a big movie star.'”
“So, somewhere here you have that,” Trump continued, as the construction crew continued laughing.
It was just one of the many zingers the president dropped on Wednesday during several impromptu pressers about the flag poles unveiling.
"Any illegal immigrants here?" Trump turned to say to the construction workers in another clip.
"If they were, they'd find out,” he added of the press. “They'll be checking you...your whole life will be destroyed because of this press conference!"
"This one is from you know where... don't worry, I think you are going to be okay,” Trump continued. “ I'll be right behind you, far behind you. I'll be right behind you. “
Another hilarious moment was when Trump took another swipe at Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom’s dreams of having a big beautiful high-speed train, which Newsom has agreed to pay for with way too much of California residents' money.
"I love construction... I know it better than anybody. When I see a train, a railroad going from San Francisco to L.A.,” the President told the press.
“I think it's a hundred times over budget — one of the most incompetent things,” he added. “It’s Newscum [Newsom]. “We're not going to fund that anymore, it's out of control."
At one point on Wednesday, Trump even joked about the nature of the poles going up and mocked a reporter for a question on Iran, RedState reported. It was all classic Trump.

In April, Trump announced plans to install not one but two giant flag poles on the White House complex, something he said would be "paid for by Trump."
During an impromptu press briefing outside the White House, Trump spoke to reporters about his plans to dig holes for flag poles that will hold a giant American flag.
“We're putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall, American flag [poles] on this side and another one on the other side,” Trump said as he pointed to the spaces on the North and South Lawn and surveyed with a crew for the placement of the poles.
“Two flags, top of the line,” he added. “And they've needed flag poles for 200 years. It was something that I’ve often said, ‘you know, they don’t have a flag pole.'”
“So, we are putting one right where you saw us,” Trump continued. “And we are putting another one on the other side on top of the mounds. It’s gonna be two beautiful poles.”
