WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is visibly under renovation during President Donald Trump’s one-day return to Washington.
Trump’s Monday in the nation’s capital is a bit of a break from a break. He’s been on a 17-day working vacation, mostly at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. He also is planning to spend time in New York City.
With the Oval Office and other parts of the historic building undergoing upgrades, Trump will work mostly in the Treaty Room. That’s in the residential area of the White House, which is not under construction.
Upgrades include replacing a 27-year-old heating and cooling system. The Oval Office, the president’s usual work space, has been emptied out, exposing ornate wood floors.
Renovation? Or Fumigation?
Truman lived down the block when the WH was gutted and rebuilt from the top to the bottom. Harry was one of those people that believed in public housing. Damned commie!
Wow he was really worried about his image to leave the golf course just to stage working in that dumpf!
Last I had heard was he had dropped going to NYC for the first time since the inauguration to go back to DC for something he was not admitting to.
The funniest thing is that I’m watching to see if he actually makes it to New York b/c I have this thought that he’s avoiding the state because he’s afraid that some state legal thing will kick into play if he’s there.
(looking at this after typing it, I think I’m nuts to think this… it’s not like they can’t find him in DC or NJ with a state legal issue… oh, well)
More likely he’s avoiding protesters…
