Trump says he’s paying for 2 flagpoles on WH lawns to fly American flags
President Donald Trump recently announced plans to add two impressive 100-foot flagpoles to the White House lawns, each flying an American flag. The President shared this exciting news during a tour of the North Lawn with Dale Haney, the head White House groundskeeper.
“We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag,” Trump stated enthusiastically. He emphasized that the flagpoles would be of the highest quality and design.
“These flagpoles have been needed for 200 years,” Trump explained to reporters. “It’s something I’ve often mentioned. You know, they don’t have a flagpole, per se. So we’re putting one right where you saw us, and we’re putting another one on the side on top of the mounds. It’s going to be two beautiful poles.”
The President mentioned that he would personally cover the costs of the flagpoles, which are expected to arrive at the White House within a week. The addition of these flagpoles will enhance the patriotic atmosphere of the White House grounds.
Currently, the White House displays an American flag on a rooftop flagpole, which remains in place regardless of the President’s whereabouts. Additionally, a POW/MIA flag has been flown at the White House since 2019, symbolizing the nation’s commitment to remembering prisoners of war and those missing in action.
This initiative to install new flagpoles aligns with President Trump’s dedication to upholding American values and traditions. The majestic sight of the American flag waving proudly on the White House lawns will serve as a powerful symbol of unity and patriotism for all who visit the historic landmark.
As the nation looks forward to celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, President Trump’s efforts to enhance the visual representation of the country’s values at the White House demonstrate his commitment to honoring the nation’s heritage and pride.
The addition of these flagpoles will undoubtedly contribute to the iconic image of the White House and further solidify its status as a symbol of American democracy and freedom.
