He described how he obtained the stone, saying the quarry owner had initially been reluctant to sell it. "It's a vein that people have been after for 50 years, and the owner of the quarry didn't want to sell it, but he liked me."

The ballroom tour gave reporters a detailed account of Trump's plans. But an image he had shared the previous day delivered a message in just four letters.

Trump's Red Hat Reveals an Unexpected Message

On November 3, Trump posted a photo on his Truth Social account showing a red baseball cap against a plain white background.

The hat resembled the red caps long associated with Trump, but its large white lettering did not carry his familiar campaign slogan. Instead, the front displayed a single four-letter word: "VETO."
