He will make the White House his second home. Will never leave it. Not under his free wil [View all]

President Donald Trump is continuing his Mar-a-Lago–style makeover of the White House.

Earlier this year, he revealed that large swaths of the beloved Rose Garden would be transformed with hardscaping, reminiscent of outdoor areas at his Palm Beach club. The Oval Office, where he works day-to-day, is now sheathed in gilded accents. And this week came the announcement that a $200 million ballroom designed by McCrery Architects will soon begin construction on White House grounds, specifically where the East Wing stands today.
