Trump Gives Lincoln's Bathroom a Gilded Makeover, Claims It's What Abe Would Have Wanted

In a move blending presidential history with his signature opulent style, former President Donald Trump has unveiled a dramatic and gilded renovation of the bathroom attached to the historic Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.

Taking to social media to showcase the project, Trump revealed a complete transformation of the space, swapping out what he described as an outdated design for one dripping in marble and gold. The former president shared photos of the luxurious new bathroom, which now features bold black and white marble and gleaming gold fixtures.

In his announcement, Trump took aim at the bathroom's previous state, which he said was a relic of a 1940s renovation. He described the former look as an "art deco green tile style," which he deemed "totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era." He argued that his lavish update was, in fact, a restoration of historical integrity.

"The new black and white marble is very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln," Trump asserted in his social media post, before adding a stunning claim: "and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!"

This high-profile remodel is just the latest chapter in Trump's ongoing, large-scale reimagining of the White House. The bathroom renovation follows a far more drastic project revealed in October: the complete demolition of the East Wing. That historic section of the executive mansion was torn down to clear the way for a brand-new, multi-million dollar ballroom, a priority project for the former president.

The Lincoln Bedroom and its adjoining suite are among the most famous rooms in the White House, serving as a guest room for visiting dignitaries and personal friends of administrations for decades. Its historical significance is paramount, making any alteration a subject of intense public interest.

While presidents and first ladies have often put their personal touches on the private quarters of the White House, Trump's renovations have been notable for their scale and ambition. From demolishing entire wings to meticulously redesigning historic bathrooms, his vision for the People's House is one of bold, unapologetic luxury, which he maintains is a fitting tribute to the nation's history.
