President Trump has unveiled his latest White House makeover, this time focusing on a bathroom renovation of the Lincoln Bathroom that has been touted as "very appropriate" by the president himself. The renovation sees the replacement of 1940s-era art deco green tile design with black and white polished statuary marble, complete with gold fixtures.
The move was unveiled via Trump's Truth Social platform, where he posted before-and-after photos of the small but storied space near the Lincoln Bedroom. Trump described the original tile design as "inappropriate" for the Lincoln Era and claimed that his new design would be more in line with the time period.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump touted the renovation as a major upgrade, saying it was "renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era." He then revealed that he had used "highly polished statuary marble" to achieve a more elegant look.
Trump also made light of his own renovation, joking that the new design could be the original marble that was installed during Abraham Lincoln's time. This move was seen as a nod to Trump's own taste for grandeur and luxury, which has been on full display throughout his presidency.
The renovation comes amidst controversy over Trump's larger plan to demolish the East Wing of the White House to build a sprawling $300 million ballroom. The project has drawn widespread criticism from both sides of the aisle, with 56% of Americans opposing it, according to a recent poll.

? I mean, Trump's clearly got a vision for the place and he's sticking to it 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love marble, right? Marble's always been fancy, but in this case, it's like he's trying to bring a bit of old-school elegance back into the mix 
. I'm not gonna lie, some people are probably going to hate on this decision, but Trump seems pretty confident that his design is going to be just fine 
. And hey, if he thinks it's an upgrade from those 1940s-era art deco tiles, who am I to argue? Maybe the guy just has a good eye for interior design 
. But seriously, with all the controversy surrounding this ballroom project and other stuff going on, maybe Trump's just trying to distract us from some of the bigger issues 
.
Oh boy, this is just getting out of hand! I mean, who does Trump think he is? Renovating the Lincoln Bathroom to match the time period? Like, come on! It's not even close to being subtle. And that "very appropriate" comment? 
Give me a break. This is just another example of his ego and love for luxury shining through.
$300 million? Are you kidding me? That's just insane. I'm sure it'll be a real conversation starter when he invites all his wealthy friends over for a party in there. 
. seriously though, 56% of Americans opposing it is like, yeah, most people are gonna be like "uh, no thanks".
. And let's be real, who cares about the tile design? It's not like it's gonna change anything about the country 
. Can't we just focus on something else for once?! 
I'm not surprised he chose the Lincoln Bathroom, though - it's already got that weird vibe going on. At this point, I'm just waiting for him to put in a pool and call it a day 
I mean, who knew the Lincoln Bathroom needed an update? And honestly, the old art deco green tile design wasn't that bad... but I guess that's just my opinion 
Trump saying it was "inappropriate" for the era sounds like he was trying to be a bit too clever 
. The fact that he thinks his new marble design is more elegant than what was installed back in the 40s is questionable, imo 
But at least the gold fixtures are a nice touch 
I just hope they don’t mess up the whole East Wing project 
. 56% of Americans are against it for a reason... 
Can we please just have a little consideration for the people's money and sanity?
