“They’ve needed flag poles for 200 years,” Trump said in April when he announced his plan for the poles, according to USA Today.

“I’ve often said, you know, they don’t have a flag pole, per se. So we’re putting one right where you saw us, and we’re putting another one on the other side, on top of the mounds. It’s going to be two beautiful poles,” he said then, noting he would pay for them.

.@POTUS: “The White House opened about 1800… and I’ve always said, ‘Why doesn’t it have a flagpole from the grass?’ … This is about the largest you’ll ever see… We’re about to lift it, and we also have one going on the front, or the north.” pic.twitter.com/2c8jsLuCGS
