"Trump announced the renovations in a Truth Social post on Friday afternoon, writing that the bathroom was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era and that he did it in black and white polished Statuary marble very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln. Responding to the president's message, which includes before-and-after pictures, Leavitt wrote, When I first learned a toilet like that existed inside the White House, I was horrified."
"The Lincoln Bathroom renovations come as Trump has already demolished the entire East Wing to make room for a privately funded ballroom. Details, however, on the identity of the donors remain unclear. The move has drawn criticism from preservationists and lawmakers alike, who contend the scope and speed of demolition sidestep traditional review processes. Trump has promised it will be probably the finest ballroom ever built."
President Donald Trump announced a renovation of the Lincoln Bathroom, saying he replaced 1940s art-deco green tile with black-and-white polished Statuary marble he called appropriate for Abraham Lincoln. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted with horror at the prior fixture and praised the renovation as making the People's House more elegant and beautiful for future generations. The bathroom update coincides with demolition of the entire East Wing to create a privately funded ballroom. Donor identities for the ballroom remain unclear. Preservationists and lawmakers criticized the demolition pace and scope as bypassing traditional review processes.
