On Thursday night, December 11, 2025, President Donald Trump mocked Democratic policies during remarks at the White House Congressional Ball.
“Many of you in Congress work very hard — both sides — this year to keep the promises that you were elected on, to deliver big wins for the American people,” Trump said.
“Democrats work very hard, too. I think you could get rid of a couple of your little policies, like men in women’s sports, open borders, transgender for everybody.”
“But other than that, I like what you’re doing,” he added.
The White House Congressional Ball is an annual formal event celebrating the conclusion of the legislative year. The guest list includes all members of Congress from both parties, their spouses or guests, and senior White House officials.
Mark Swanson, a writer and editor with nearly three decades of experience covering news, culture and politics, reported on the event.
