The reviews are in for President Donald Trump’s gaudy revamp of Washington, D.C.

The majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the 80-year-old president’s myriad vanity projects, including the construction of a White House ballroom and a triumphal arch and the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to a new poll.

A https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/8011afc4-a540-435e-82dd-30350225039e.pdf" rel="">Washington Post/Ipsos survey conducted this month found that 65 percent of Americans held negative views of the president’s pet projects while only 32 percent approved.

The remaining 3 percent didn’t offer their opinions.
