Trump's patriotic plan: Two giant flagpoles for White House
Changes are being made at the White House. As Donald Trump revealed, two additional flagpoles will be added to the north side of the presidential building. The American president claims that he will personally finance this project.
President Donald Trump is gearing up for changes at the White House. This time, however, it's not about modifications to his political office. The American leader announced that new, patriotic elements will appear near the building.
These are two huge flagpoles, set to be installed on the north side of the president's residence. According to the "New York Post," the flags will each measure over 100 feet tall.
Donald Trump announced that the installation will not burden American taxpayers. He told reporters that he will cover the cost of the two flagpoles himself.
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, said Donald Trump to American reporters.
Currently, there are no flagpoles for American flags on the White House grounds. One flag flies atop the building. Donald Trump believes that's not sufficient.
They needed flagpoles for 200 years. It was something I’ve often said, you know, they don’t have a flagpole per se, admitted the American president.
Trump is turning his words into action. The flagpoles are expected to arrive in Washington next week. For now, the president, along with White House gardeners and planners, is carefully deciding where the structures will be placed.
The flagpoles are not the only investment plans at the White House. Donald Trump has already announced that the Rose Garden will be remodeled. It's possible that a ballroom may also be added to the White House.
