WASHINGTON ― Massive new flag poles hoisting United States flags have been installed on the White House grounds after President Donald Trump said they were desperately needed and that he would pay for them himself.
The placement of the two 88-foot-tall flagpoles -- one on the north lawn and one on the south lawn -- began early in the morning of June 18.
A U.S. flag was later raised on the south lawn around 1 p.m. at a ceremony that included Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The couple was at the White House to watch the swearing in of Charles Kushner, Jared's father, as U.S. ambassador to France.
"How do you like it, everybody?" Trump said to reporters after the flag reached the top of the pole.
