标题：Up on the Roof, POTUS Surveys the Home He’s Making His Own
White House reporters looked up from the driveway to see a familiar figure in a most unfamiliar location.

正文：POTUS was on the roof. As a confused group of reporters assembled below him on Tuesday morning, POTUS strolled around on top of the White House, stopping somewhere above the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room —now only occasionally a venue for taking questions—to tell his audience that he was “taking a little walk” in service of his latest home improvement project: a large ballroom. “It’s just another way to spend my money for the country,” POTUS shouted. He was getting a bird’s-eye view of where the $200 million White House ballroom he has proposed building would go, according to the White House.

知识点：assemble v. /əˈsembl/
to gather together in one place for a common purpose. 聚集；集合
e.g. The students assembled in the auditorium for the morning assembly. 学生们聚集在礼堂参加晨会。
