Trump Unveils Marble-and-Gold Remodel of Lincoln Bedroom Bathroom

Overview

• Photos posted by the president on Truth Social show black-and-white marble surfaces, gold-toned fixtures and mirrors replacing 1940s green art-deco tile.
• The reveal follows an order this month to demolish the East Wing to build a new ballroom measuring about 8,300 square meters.
• The White House says plans for the East Wing replacement will be submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission for review.
• Reporters say the government has not confirmed whether the bathroom renovation went through any formal approval process.
• Historians note the adjoining Lincoln Bedroom area saw major updates under George W. Bush while the Truman-era bathroom had been preserved, and critics see the new aesthetic as aligned with the president’s Mar-a-Lago style.
