Trump Rambles On And On About ‘Beautiful’ Flagpole In Front Of White House
HuffPost
The president claimed, “These are the best poles anywhere in the country, or in the world,” during installation.
As war in the Middle East rages, President Donald Trump found time to supervise the installation of a giant flagpole on the White House grounds.
The president, on Wednesday, watched construction workers raise the new structure on the South Lawn and turned the event into an impromptu press conference.
Trump had announced on Truth Social on Tuesday that he would be “putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House,” and described it as “a GIFT from me.”
The erection of new flagpoles comes as the president weighs up whether to send U.S. warplanes to bomb Iran in a move that would significantly escalate the conflict with Israel.
In rambling comments to reporters that essayed the tensions in the Middle East, interest rates and immigration, the president appeared pleased with the new addition to the White House.
