Donald J. Trump has apparently added White House Savior to his résumé. He declared on Truth Social that the historic building was a “dump” before he returned to office, and unsurprisingly, blamed previous presidents for letting it deteriorate.
Trump also claimed its exterior was practically falling off. Trump then congratulated himself for personally overseeing its rescue—during the little “spare time” he supposedly has—calling it an “honor” to save the beloved White House.
“The White House was in very bad condition, both inside and out,” Trump insisted. “Frankly, it was a “dump!” Past Presidents did not take care of it.”
“I love renovating it during my spare time, which is not much,” he continued. “The Department of Interior, and various contractors, are doing a fantastic job.”
“Attached are pictures of BEFORE and AFTER. The exterior “skin” of the Building was practically falling off! It is now in better shape than when built in 1792,” he added. “Such an Honor to have the privilege of saving this Great Structure! More time without renovation would have destroyed our beloved White House! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
There aren’t enough expletives in the world to describe this man. He demolished the East Wing to make room for a 90,000 square feet new ballroom, and paved over Jackie Kennedy’s beloved Rose Garden.
The administration has also embarked on a series of ambitious projects involving other Washington landmarks, including renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and proposed changes to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, along with extensive work at the Kennedy Center. Trump has also backed plans for a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery and a proposed National Garden of American Heroes.
Any Democrat who proposes leaving those projects intact won’t get my vote. Earlier this month, Trump acknowledged that the grand construction projects he is pushing around Washington are monuments to himself.
