President Donald Trump, a former real estate developer, has undertaken a new construction project at the White House, focusing on the renovation of the North Portico columns. The project, which began with the removal of scaffolding and the stripping of paint from the Ionic columns, is part of Trump’s efforts to restore and improve the White House.

Project Details

The renovation work on the columns is attributed to Trump’s attention to detail, according to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The project is expected to be completed quickly, with workers making rapid progress. Trump has also been involved in other construction projects at the White House, including gilding the Oval Office and paving the Rose Garden.

The White House has not responded to inquiries about potential further changes to the North Portico. However, Trump has expressed his desire to improve the appearance of the columns, stating that his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, did not notice the issues with the columns.
