It s not just his vanity projects, Biden said in remarks at a Saturday night gala hosted by the Maryland Democratic Party. He s tearing down the East Wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom. Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix his Reflecting Pool.
Trump s efforts to renovate the Reflecting Pool have not gone smoothly, as officials have battled an algae bloom and alleged vandalism since the site was repainted and repaired. Other Trump administration beautification projects include a $600 million White House ballroom being built on the site of the East Room and plans to build a triumphal arch in the president s name.
