Trump Unveils Renovated Lincoln Bathroom at the White House

The reveal comes as East Wing demolition for a $300 million ballroom faces scrutiny over scope, cost, and private financing.

Overview

  • Trump posted photos showing black‑and‑white polished marble surfaces with gold fixtures in the refurbished bathroom.
  • He said the stone could be the original material and criticized the 1940s Art Deco green tiles as unsuitable for the Lincoln era.
  • The room sits near the Lincoln Bedroom on the residence’s second floor, marking the first major work inside the presidential living quarters.
  • The announcement follows last week’s full demolition of the East Wing for a new ballroom, a broader intervention than initially described.
  • The White House released a list of private donors for the ballroom project, with Handelsblatt reporting T‑Mobile US among the supporters.
