One section of the announcement wrote: “The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honouring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance.”

According to CNN, the latest additions came only weeks after the 79-year-old began adding ‘gold piece after gold piece’ to areas of the property, ‘including tiny gold cherubs over the entryway’ of the Oval Office.

“A lot of the finishes that he wants closely resemble his private clubs,” journalist Kevin Liptak previously explained of the gold in an Instagram video. “And some of the details have actually been imported from Mar-a-Lago.”

In response to the announcement, some critics speculated that the elaborate repairs were part of Trump’s intention to stay in the White House for a third term
