President Trump has taken his White House renovation ambitions to a new level of absurdity. During a recent interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, the president boasted about his supposed "greatest strength" being his ability to approve blueprints and write checks to contractors - essentially saying he's good at hiring people to build things, not actually governing.
But Trump's true intentions for one of the White House's most historic structures were revealed when he showed Ingraham a mockup of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) covered in pale white paint. The building, which is situated across from the West Wing and has undergone several name changes over the years, is set to be completely transformed into a massive "big white blob."
When questioned about the potential impact on the structure's aesthetic, Trump dismissed concerns, saying it would only bring out its details. The president's plan for the EEOB appears to be an extension of his well-documented love of flashy decorations and unnecessary renovations - from gold finishes in the Oval Office to a needlessly large flagpole.
The question on everyone's mind is: what does Trump's renovation plans really say about him as a leader? Is he simply indulging in his own eccentric tastes, or are there more pressing issues at play? As the White House continues down this path of bizarre transformations, one thing is clear: Donald Trump's priorities are far from the traditional duties of the presidency.

What's next? Is he gonna paint the entire White House in neon pink and install a giant water slide? 
This guy's got some serious issues with priorities... like, hello, world problems over interior design choices? 
?! i mean trump's already shown us his love for all things flashy and gaudy, but this takes the cake. what's next? renovating the whole nation to fit his ego? 
i'm not saying he's not good at building stuff (i guess that's one thing he is good at), but as a leader? please. his priorities are so out of whack it's like he's living in a parallel universe where the only thing that matters is being the center of attention 
. and honestly, who cares about the aesthetics of some old building when there are actual problems to be solved in this country?! 
he thinks he can just slap some paint on an old building and make it look all fancy lol what's next? renovating the whole country to be one big mall 
idk wut his deal is but one thing is def not the presidency 
btw who gets 2 decide wut color of paint u use in the White House tho? sounds like a total power trip to me 
his priorities r for sho misplaced. btw has anyone seen his blueprints? 
It's like he's trying to make a statement or something, but honestly, it just looks like a fancy paint job gone wrong. And what's with the gold finishes in the Oval Office? Is that really worth all that money? 
I'm not saying the president can't have his own style, but when is enough enough? The thing is, we need to focus on actual issues, you know? Like climate change or economic inequality. This just feels like a distraction from what's really important 
.
. And let's be real, has he even thought about how this is gonna affect the actual work that needs to get done in the White House? It's all about his own self-aggrandizement at this point 
. Can't believe we're still stuck with him as our president
