President Trump has gifted the White House with new gifts.
This morning, construction crews alongside President Trump put up two flag poles on the White House South lawn.
Here are some scenes from the White House flagpole ceremony:

Per Raw Story:
In his trademark blue suit, sans tie, the leader of the free world stated, “I’ve always said why doesn’t [it] have a flagpole from the grass. They call it a flagpole from the grass. They have a little one on top, very little one. This is about the largest you’ll ever see and it’s tapered.”
“It’s a quality that you guys rarely get to even put up,” he remarked, speaking to the workers. “They do that for a living, they’re incredible people. I don’t know them, but I love them and I would bet that they all voted for Trump. I mean, I don’t know for a fact, but I think so, but we’re about to lift it.”
After pointing out where both poles were about to be erected, he added, “In this case we had a lot of choices putting it on that hill, putting it different places. It’s such a beautiful pole we thought we’d put it near. I mean, it always looks best when it’s near… and these are the best poles anywhere in the country or in the world actually. They’re tapered, they have the nice top, you know.”
The new flagpoles are measured at 100 feet high.
