Trump Floats Painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, Faces On-Air Doubts From Ingraham

In a Fox News walk-through, he displayed a rendering, saying a white finish plus cleaning and pointing would "bring out the details."

Overview

  • New footage on The Ingraham Angle showed the president outlining a plan to repaint the 1888 Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
  • Trump presented a bright-white rendering and described the work as "cleaning, pointing and painting" that he said would enhance the building’s details.
  • Laura Ingraham questioned the look as potentially "a big white blob," prompting Trump to reject the concern during their exchange.
  • Trump said he is soliciting bids for the paint project and indicated he has not decided whether to proceed.
  • The discussion came after last month’s demolition of the White House East Wing to clear space for a planned ballroom with an estimated price tag of about $300 million.
