Before the left starts sounding the alarm, President Donald Trump made it clear that the towering new American flags installed on the North and South lawns of the White House came at no cost to taxpayers. In keeping with his America-first vision, Trump personally funded the installation of these massive flagpoles, which now serve as bold symbols of patriotism visible from blocks away. The display underscores his ongoing commitment to reviving national pride and restoring powerful American imagery in the heart of Washington, D.C.
The two 88-foot-tall flags, which are estimated to cost $50,000 each, are just one of the many projects Trump has personally paid for since entering the White House for the second time, says White House spokesperson Davis Ingle.
“President Trump personally paid to install two big, beautiful American Flags to wave proudly over the White House for years to come. This is just one of many projects President Trump selflessly paid for to make the White House even more patriotic and beautiful,” he said.
In April, Trump visited the North Lawn to select a location for the new, towering American flag, noting that the White House grounds had long been without prominent, dedicated flagpoles to display the nation’s symbol. Speaking to reporters, the president said that although flags have flown at the White House, there hasn't been a formal, central display of flagpoles in key spots— until now. Trump decided to install two large, visually striking flagpoles on top of raised mounds, making sure American pride is more prominent.
“They’ve needed flag poles for 200 years. It was something I’ve often said, ‘You know, they don’t have a flag pole per se,’ so we’re putting one right where you saw us, and we’re putting another one on the other side, on top of the mounds. It’s going to be two beautiful poles. Paid for by Trump,” he said.
President Trump called them the “best poles anywhere in the country or in the world.”
“Only if you’re in construction is this exciting," Trump said during the flag-raising ceremony last month. "See, you have to get it perfectly straight, and once it’s perfect, they pour in the sand, and it’s there for 100 years."
