From Fox News: President Donald Trump installed two massive 88-foot-tall American flags on either side of the White House this summer in a patriotic endeavor that did not cost U.S. taxpayers a cent.
“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,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
The flagpoles were estimated to cost $50,000 each.
An American flag has flown on the White House roof stretching back decades, with Trump first announcing in April that he planned to install additional flags on the North and South lawns.
