'This is not moving': Trump presents White House construction projects in bid for modernization
The former real estate developer spent about 30 minutes guiding reporters across the South Lawn, touting a new granite helipad, a $400 million ballroom, and other renovations.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump conducted a tour of White House construction projects, including a new granite helipad and a $400 million ballroom, which he hopes will modernize the complex and cement his legacy. Trump, a former real estate developer, stated, "This building was falling apart." He highlighted that the new granite helipad, donated by Sikorsky, was necessary due to helicopter exhaust scorching the grass, with new grass donated by Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. Trump signed a granite eagle for the helipad, noting, "This will be here long after we're gone." He also mentioned a new tapered flagpole he had erected. These projects, particularly the ballroom, have faced criticism and legal challenges, with Trump asking the Supreme Court to allow construction to proceed without Congressional approval.
