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.

So is it to be the north and south sides of the White House grounds or the east and west sides as here depicted “
The sound of the huge flags flapping in the wind will be huge.
There is no residential homes so people won’t hear it but when events are outdoors I wonder what the noise level will be?
The problem is if a demonrat gets back in the white house they’ll put a fag flag up there.🙄
Yah beat me to it.😗
