Trump’s making a big change to the White House grounds — and says he’ll pay for it himself
NY Post ^ | 04/23/2025 | Diana Glebova

President Trump unveiled his latest plans to shake up the White House grounds on Wednesday — announcing he will pay for two large flagpoles.

The president came out of the residence in the morning to survey the grounds on the north side and was spotted with groundskeepers, who were spreading their arms, showing just how large the flags were going to be.

“We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side and another one on the other side, two flags, top of the line,” he later told reporters outside the White House.

There are currently no freestanding flagpoles on the White House grounds, but there is an American flag flying from the top of the building.

“They needed flagpoles for 200 years. It was something I’ve often said, you know, they don’t have a flagpole per se. So we’re putting one right where you saw us, and we’re putting another one on the other side, on top of the mounds. It’s going to be two beautiful poles.”

“Paid for by Trump,” the president added, noting they are set to arrive next week.

The Molotov Cocktail Throwing and Old Lady Stomping DemonRATS are already looking for a “District” skank “justice” to “pause this addition to the White House “temporarily for now”.

Why would they be? There are great flag making companies in the USA.

I like it. He’s always thinking. He has quite a legacy...and in 3 years and 9 months. We may have the country that our forefathers dreamed of...and more.

I hope he builds a massive playground for all the children. My mom loves watching the children play from her senior center window. The Smithsonian Carousel is a wonderful memory for many families. Why not a White House playground make it under a pavilion with locked sides at night just like the historic carousel. Play helicopters and boats, even tanks.

Trump can have them removed if the election results of the next election warrant it.

The new ones aren’t finished yet being made in America so they won’t fade to white flags.

If democrats ever get back in the WH expect them.

And Camper World in North Carolina is closing its store because they can’t fight the government any longer.
