Trump Drops $100K on 100-Foot Flagpoles at White House—You Won’t Believe How Tall!

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump has dramatically reshaped the White House grounds with the addition of two towering flagpoles—each nearly 100 feet tall—on the North and South Lawns.

Trump personally oversaw the installation, saluted the raised American flags, and praised the craftsmanship. He emphasized the poles’ internal rope systems, resistant to wind noise, and the deep foundation—buried nine feet down—underscoring durability. “This is the real deal… the best you can get,” he told reporters.

Funded entirely from Trump’s own pocket (an estimated $100,000 investment), the installation marks the most significant change to the White House exterior since his return to office. The poles reflect his longstanding admiration for grandiose design—mirroring aesthetics commonly seen at his Mar‑a‑Lago estate.

These additions complement recent interior and exterior changes: gilded touches in the Oval Office, a redesigned Rose Garden with paved pathways, and ambitious plans for a new ballroom—all aligning with Trump’s bold vision of presidential style.

During the unveiling, Trump pressed workers on whether any were undocumented immigrants, threatening consequences if they weren’t “100% legal”—a moment that drew both nervous laughter and controversy.
