WASHINGTON — President Trump raised two huge flag poles at the White House Wednesday as part of a “personal project” with a price tag of $100,000 to spruce up the grounds. The two poles, one on the North Lawn and one on the South Lawn, will cost Trump about $50,000 each to complete, Trump told reporters, heralding their arrival at the executive mansion as an event centuries in the making. “The White House opened in about 1800, just a tad before that, and I’ve always said, why doesn’t it have a flag pole from the grass?” the president said.
