President Trump favors throwing receptions and giving addresses in the Grand Foyer, or the official entrance of the White House.
Aides set up a speaking podium in the stairwell from the second floor, giving Trump a chance for a big entrance, and an easy escape. Behind him, in the stairwell, is the official portrait of President Harry S Truman. And to his right, as he speaks, is the portrait of President Bill Clinton.
