Overview
- Trump showed before-and-after renderings on The Ingraham Angle of a plan to repaint the 19th‑century EEOB in white.
- Laura Ingraham questioned the concept as a potential “big white blob,” a characterization Trump rejected.
- Trump said the repaint would highlight architectural details and described it as cleaning, pointing, and painting rather than structural changes.
- He stated he is soliciting bids from painters and has not decided whether to proceed with the project.
- The proposal comes after last month’s East Wing demolition to clear space for a roughly $300 million ballroom, a move that has drawn criticism from historians and preservationists, including Douglas Brinkley.
