Breaking A 400-Year-Old Mirror is Extra Bad Luck!!!

Donald Trump‘s looking out for the White House Press Corps … warning one photog to watch his camera — ’cause it got pretty close to shattering a very old mirror.
The President of the United States was chatting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House Monday … when he spoke to one of the camera operators — telling them to be careful around a mirror in the back.
DJT says, “You better watch that. You’re not allowed to break that” — a good-natured barb that got a chuckle out of the room … and Trump then followed it up by revealing the mirror’s not a cheapie from Target. It’s actually 400 years old!
President Trump claims he had the mirror brought up from the vaults … and, one of the first things that happens is a camera hits it — defintely not ideal — though Trump plays it off by saying that’s just the way life goes sometimes.
WHITE HOUSE EAST WING DEMOLITION:
TRUTH Social Post from President Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump:
I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom. Completely separate from the White House… https://t.co/4wZMnhiLp9— Allison Papson (@AllisonPapson) October 21, 2025

This mirror is just one of many changes the president has made to the White House. He’s hung new paintings, put up portraits of all past presidents — including an autopen standing in for his successor and predecessor Joe Biden — and, he’s even tearing down the East Wing to put in a new $250 million ballroom.
The demolition crew might be at the White House constantly, but President Trump is clear that the press corps better not be part of it!
