Overview
- The president posted before-and-after images on Truth Social revealing the revamped Lincoln bathroom in the White House.
- The space now features white marble surfaces and gold hardware, replacing an Art Deco look added in the 1940s.
- Trump said the design uses black-and-white polished statuary marble and suggested it could be original to Lincoln’s era, a claim not independently verified.
- Located near the Lincoln Bedroom on the second floor, the project is reported as the first major renovation inside the presidential residence under this administration.
- The reveal comes after the East Wing was torn down for a planned grand ballroom estimated at about $300 million, a project criticized by Democrats and civil-society groups, while the White House says it will be privately funded.
