The floor was badly broken, it was slate. Slate\u2019s not a good flooring material to start off with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=423\">Trump Says Lives are at Stake in Renovation Project<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The president has wasted no time in the past 18 months, moving swiftly to gild the White House in his image. As well as the Walk of Fame, the paved Rose Garden, and the new granite path, there have been numerous golden accents added to the Oval Office. <\/p>\n<p>New portraits, including one of Trump post-assassination-attempt, have been hung. The Lincoln bathroom was completely redone in marble. <\/p>\n<p>On the grounds, two huge new flagpoles have been erected, and, of course, the entire East Wing has been demolished to make way for a giant ballroom. <\/p>\n<p>The cost of these projects are not easy to pin down. In August 2025, Fox News reported that Trump himself had paid for the Oval Office\u2019s augmentations. <\/p>\n<p>The Rose Garden makeover cost $1.9 million and was funded by private donations to the Trust for the National Mall. <\/p>\n<p>The biggest renovation, the ballroom, which is currently embroiled in a legal battle, had an estimated price tag of $400 million, which the president said would be funded through donations. <\/p>\n<p>But following another assassination attempt at the White House Correspondent Association\u2019s annual dinner, the cost of the ballroom ballooned, with a $1 billion dollar ask tacked onto a congressional spending bill. <\/p>\n<p>The $1 billion in public funds would go towards security improvements, a six-story-deep bunker complex under the ballroom, and a drone facility. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Asked about the total cost of renovations already carried out, the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=421\">Bill Gates Humiliated as His Cringe PR Tactics Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump was given free rein to ramble about his White House renovations in a softball interview with his daughter-in-law about \u201cbeautiful brass\u201d and granite.
