Donald Trump has been focusing on showcasing the upgrades to his new bathroom while the US government remains shut down due to a budget and welfare funding disagreement. This has left numerous low-income Americans without pay and assistance for their families.
Despite the financial struggles facing many citizens, Trump’s attention seems to be fixated on various extravagant construction projects and renovations in the White House and Washington DC. Recent developments include the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make room for a large ballroom and the transformation of the iconic White House rose garden into a venue for extravagant dinner parties akin to those at his Mar A Lago resort.
In a recent online post, Trump proudly displayed the renovated en suite attached to the Lincoln Bedroom, boasting about replacing the historic turquoise tiling with polished Italian marble. Despite claiming the redesign is in line with Abraham Lincoln’s era, historical accuracy questions arise as the Lincoln Bedroom itself was not established until decades later.
There is speculation surrounding the motive behind Trump’s extensive remodeling efforts. Some wonder if his ambitious projects, such as the proposed triumphal archway near the Lincoln Memorial, indicate a desire to leave a lasting legacy beyond his presidency. However, Trump’s past criticism of Washington DC and hints at extending his time in office raise questions about his true intentions.
