Watch: Trump wraps White House in tarps after diverting $90M from national parks for construction projects
President Trump has wrapped the White House's North Portico in construction tarps as he restores its historic columns — the latest in a sweeping Washington makeover. The push is funded in part by over $90 million diverted from national park entry fees, even as the National Park Service faces a $24 billion maintenance backlog. Critics say it reflects a president focused on his personal architectural legacy, even as high prices remain a top concern for everyday Americans.
