While President Donald Trump weighs the single most consequential decision of his time in office so far — the possibility of US military intervention in Iran — he’s also completing a personal project years in the making.

Massive new flag poles are being installed on the White House grounds today, after President Donald Trump said they were desperately needed and he would pay for them himself.

US President Donald Trump installed two new flag poles outside of the White House, each measuring 100ft (30.5m) in height. According to Trump, both flag poles were paid for by him, with one sitting on the north lawn and the other one on the south lawn.
