President Donald Trump on Wednesday revealed plans to install two "beautiful" 100-foot flagpoles on the White House lawns that will each fly an American flag.
Trump told reporters about the plans after he was spotted touring the North Lawn of the White House with Dale Haney, head White House groundskeeper.
"We're putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag," Trump said, adding that the two flagpoles will be "top of the line."
"And they've needed flagpoles for 200 years," Trump told reporters. "It was something I've often said. You know, they don't have a flagpole, per se. So we're putting one right where you saw us, and we're putting another one on the side on top of the mounds. It's going to be two beautiful poles."
