Trump turns Cabinet meeting into a mayor-like showcase for his DC renovations
President Donald Trump took on the role of a small town mayor during his latest Cabinet meeting, spending 10 full minutes describing in great detail the various beautification projects underway around Washington, D.C. He highlighted efforts to fix fountains, power-wash pools and repair brick walkways.
Trump, drawing on his real estate background, said these projects make D.C. look beautiful.
He mentioned upcoming improvements to the World War II Memorial fountain and the Reflecting Pool, which he mistakenly called the “reflecting lake” and “reflecting pond.” His remarks took up a significant portion of the meeting, largely overshadowing discussions on Iran and the economy.
