Here's the lowdown on the latest chairman's controversial project:
- Trump, the self-proclaimed flagpole connoisseur, couldn't contain his excitement during a scrum with reporters, boasting about the mammoth poles he's planted on the White House grounds.
- These bad boys are so gigantic, they're causing quite a stir, even making it into the international spotlight.
- With one on the north side and another on the south, you'd think the White House announced their placement back in April, but it turns out these colossal structures are a touch shorter than initially advertised.
- Now, I know what you're thinking: "But did POTUS foot the bill?" That's a big YES! He cashed in personally to cover the approximately $50,000 it cost for each of these behemoths, totaling a cool $100,000 to the cause.
- Having made several cosmetic changes since he moved back in January, it's no secret Trump takes a fancy to some pomp and circumstance. The new golden décor in the Oval Office, for instance, had people talking – and not always in a good way. The former property tycoon's had a penchant for grandeur in interior design, which is no surprise seein' as how he's been known to pull out all the stops.
Fun Fact:
Did you know? This change is some 200+ years in the making! Astonishingly, Trump sees these flagpole installations as a centuries-old dream that's finally come true. He muses why the White House didn't have flagpoles rising from the grass since it opened back in the 1800s. He's even going so far as to label it a patriotic gesture, his personal gift to the executive mansion[1][2][3].
