Trump Remakes the White House with New Flagpoles

  • President Donald Trump oversaw the installation of two new 88-foot flagpoles on the North and South Lawns of the White House on Wednesday morning.
  • Trump launched the flagpole installation as part of a series of White House updates, which also include upcoming work to add a ballroom adjacent to the East Wing, with construction expected to begin soon.
  • Trump showed excitement about the project, describing the flagpoles as some of the finest available anywhere and mentioning that each costs around $50,000, with sand used inside to ensure their longevity.
  • The flags were set to be raised at 11 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday, with installation of the flagpoles beginning at 7:30 a.m., and Trump closely observed the process for almost an hour, concluding by saluting the large American flag.
  • The new flagpoles symbolize Trump's personal investment in White House enhancements amid heightened Middle East tensions and coincide with his deliberations on possible U.S. military action in Iran.
