Among the sweeping changes President Donald Trump has made to the White House during his second, non-consecutive term, one is a particular interest in curating its artwork. He has added five new statues to the White House Rose Garden, covered the Oval Office in gold pieces and presidential portraits from the White House Collection, and hung photos and paintings of himself in several rooms. When reached for comment, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told one outlet, "President Trump continues to implement long-overdue and necessary renovations to beautify the People's House as we celebrate our great Nation's 250th anniversary of independence.
" "Thanks to the Builder-in-Chief, the White House will be properly glorified and remain in excellent condition for generations to come," Ingle said. Here's a look at the artwork that Trump has added to the White House.
