Overview

• Brown paper placeholders and gold-lettered “Presidential Walk of Fame” signage appeared along the West Wing colonnade outside the Rose Garden.
• Trump said the wall will feature black-and-white portraits of presidents in gold frames arranged in order of administrations.
• He suggested it is unclear whether a Joe Biden portrait will be included, joking that a photo of an autopen could be used instead.
• Recent changes include relocating the official portraits of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and George H. W. Bush to a stairwell and replacing Hillary Clinton’s East Wing portrait with one of Trump.
• The colonnade project accompanies a limestone patio in the renovated Rose Garden, a new speaker system, plans for a $200 million state ballroom, two 88-foot flagpoles, and gold-accented Oval Office decor.
