Donald Trump has reportedly had new lights installed in the White House’s Cabinet room after his hair appeared to “glow in the dark” and being disappointed by how he looked in footage
Donald Trump’s Cabinet gatherings have taken on a rather different appearance, courtesy of enhanced lighting designed to boost his television presence.
Politico revealed that the president has upgraded the ceiling lights in the Cabinet room following his apparent dissatisfaction with footage from an earlier session, according to an unnamed White House source. During his second presidency, Trump’s Cabinet meetings have stretched on for hours whilst members heap praise upon the President rather than tackling policy matters.
It remains unclear which particular gathering sparked the president’s frustration, though social media users previously highlighted the subpar lighting during a March meeting, with journalist Aaron Rupar observing, “Interesting lighting for this cabinet meeting. Trump’s hair looks like it’s glowing in the dark.”
Observers have also spotted Trump’s fondness for gold décor. The Cabinet room has been completely adorned with golden accessories, a design element that has extended into the Oval Office.
This lighting enhancement represents merely the most recent modification Trump has implemented at the White House since assuming office in January.
Plans for a $200 million ballroom that will expand the East Wing were also unveiled several weeks ago, with completion scheduled for 2028 – perfectly timed for Trump’s final year in office.
A source said: “He seems to wake up and say what else needs to be improved. Every day, it is something new.”
The president has also floated concepts beyond the White House grounds, including rebranding a golf course situated in the heart of the Potomac River. Only last week, he declared that Washington, D.C. would be “beautified in 12 months.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle said: “President Trump is a builder at heart and has brought this talent to our nation’s capital.
“He is restoring American greatness to everything he touches-from the White House to our federal buildings and D.C. parks – and is fulfilling his promise to usher in a new golden age of America.”
Whilst Trump isn’t the only president to have ever implemented changes to the White House, Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, told Politico: “this is probably the first time when there are so many at once.”
The unnamed White House official informed the publication that Trump’s ambition extends beyond mere aesthetics and splendour. “He is actually thinking about his legacy. He wants to leave a lasting impact and leave things better off than they were.”
