President Donald Trump’s latest plans to install not one but two giant flag poles on the White House complex are guaranteed to melt those on the left.

During an impromptu press briefing on Wednesday outside the White House, Trump spoke to reporters about his plans to dig holes for flag poles that will hold a giant American flag.

“We're putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall, American flag [poles] on this side and another one on the other side,” Trump said as he pointed to the spaces on the North and South Lawn he surveyed with a crew for the placement of the poles.

“Two flags, top of the line,” he added. “And they've needed flag poles for 200 years. It was something that I’ve often said, ‘you know, they don’t have a flag pole.”

“So, we are putting one right where you saw us,” Trump continued. “And we are putting another one on the other side on top of the mounds. It’s gonna be two beautiful poles.”

The president pointed out that the installations on the White House grounds would be “paid for by Trump” before he revealed that the new poles will arrive in about a week.

The comments came after images surfaced online earlier in the day of Trump walking around the grounds with his arms spread wide while picking out the locations of the poles.

“.@POTUS surveys the North Lawn of the White House to find a suitable location to build a "beautiful flag pole for the American flag,” the official Rapid Response account of the Trump 47 White House read.

Dan Scavino added, “President Trump on the North Lawn of the @WhiteHouse looking for the perfect spot to put a 100 ft tall American Flag pole—he will determine a second spot on the South Lawn as well, at his personal expense…”

Another social media user noted what a difference a year makes, comparing when former President Joe Biden flew the transgender flag at the White House.

“President Trump is adding MASSIVE American flags to the White House,” the post read. “Biden added a MASSIVE trans flag to the White House—notice how the pride flag is in the center rather than the beautiful American flag. President Trump loves his country. The previous administration hates our country.”

Given how the left feels about American flags and how nervous the symbol of red, white, and blue makes them, it is safe to assume they are going to throw a fit about this latest move by Trump.

And who can forget the meltdown those on the left had during President Trump’s first term over First Lady Melania Trump’s re-do of the White House Rose Garden to make it more accessible, as previously reported.

At the time we were inundated with hot-takes like a headline from The New York Times, “Marie Antoinette Would Be Proud.” 

It was reposted by fashion magazine’s Jennifer Wright, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I'd say that overhauling your garden during a time of national unrest is a real Marie Antoinette move, but to my knowledge Marie Antoinette did not make the garden worse.”
