Trump Installs Two 88-Foot American Flagpoles at White House, Paid From Personal Funds
President Donald Trump has gifted the White House with two massive American flags that now stand proudly on the North and South Lawns. The 88-foot flagpoles were installed Wednesday, paid for entirely out of Trump’s own pocket as a personal gift to the nation.
The impressive flagpoles didn’t come cheap. Each pole cost approximately $50,000, according to Trump, who was happy to cover the expense himself. The high-quality poles are “tall, tapered, rust proof,” with special internal features to ensure longevity.
