The pool report said Trump spent six minutes outside the entrance before walking inside.<\/p>\n<p>The president has carried out a series of renovations since returning to the White House. The largest change he made so far was bulldozing the entire East Wing of the White House in a shocking move last year to make way for a new ballroom that has since ballooned in size and cost. <\/p>\n<p>The president has also packed the Oval Office with a series of gold decorations mounted across multiple surfaces that make it more closely resemble a ripoff version of the Palace of Versailles than the iconic office used by dozens of American presidents. <\/p>\n<p>He paved over the grass in former first lady Jackie Kennedy\u2019s famous rose garden to create what he has dubbed the \u201cRose Garden Club,\u201d equipped with tables and yellow umbrellas identical to the ones at his Mar-a-Lago club. <\/p>\n<p>In March, Trump replaced the pavers along the West Wing colonnade with large slabs of no-slip black granite after he added a cringeworthy \u201cPresidential Walk of Fame\u201d last year along the wall featuring insults for the past presidents he considers political foes and cheap looking gold signage.<\/p>\n<p>In a Truth Social post on Monday evening, Trump made his tackiest White House decoration suggesting yet, but it has yet to become a reality for now. The president posted an image of a gold eagle attached to the Truman Balcony with the caption \u201cA Golden Gift to the White House for its 250th Birthday Year!\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Observers noted that the image featured eleven stars rather than thirteen, suggesting the AI-generated image touted by Trump celebrated the eleven states of the Confederacy rather than the 13 original colonies that declared independence from Great Britain to form the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2581\">Sheriff Rejected Search-and-Rescue Team in Nancy Guthrie Hunt, Group Claims<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New scaffolding was going up around the North Portico of the White House as President Donald Trump obsesses over renovations, raising questions about what exactly the latest project will entail.
