Hold onto your hats, folks—President Trump has just unveiled a jaw-dropping renovation of the White House’s Lincoln Bathroom that’s as bold as his signature style.

Friday’s reveal showcased a stunning transformation from a dated 1940s art deco look to a lavish black and white marble design with gold accents, while controversy swirls around a separate, massive East Wing ballroom project costing $300 million, the New York Post reported. 

The Lincoln Bathroom, nestled near the historic Lincoln Bedroom, previously sported green tile from a postwar redesign under President Harry Truman in 1945.

From Art Deco to Opulent Elegance

That mid-century modern vibe, complete with blue tones in the bedroom and art deco flair in the bathroom, was once seen as cutting-edge for its time.

Trump, however, wasn’t buying the historical fit, and he’s swapped it out for something he believes better honors the era of Abraham Lincoln.

The new look features polished Statuary marble in striking black and white, gilded mirrors, and ornate trim that screams luxury—think Mar-a-Lago meets Mount Vernon.

Trump’s Vision Sparks Debate

“It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era,” Trump declared on Truth Social, doubling down on his critique of Truman’s choices.

With all due respect to history, one has to wonder if art deco really clashed that badly with the Civil War period—or if this is just Trump’s well-known taste for grandeur taking the reins.

“This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!” Trump quipped in another post on his platform.

Gold Accents or Gilded Distraction?

Let’s be honest—claiming the marble might be original feels like a stretch, but it’s hard to deny the man’s knack for making a space feel like a palace.

Trump’s penchant for ornate designs isn’t new; from his gold-plated Trump Tower penthouse to the Versailles-inspired decor at Mar-a-Lago, opulence is practically his middle name.

Some supporters cheer these updates as a return to elegance for the White House, a building that deserves to shine rather than fade under uninspired, progressive minimalism.

Ballroom Controversy Overshadows Renovation

Yet, not everyone’s popping champagne over Trump’s vision, especially with the Lincoln Bathroom reveal overshadowed by his plan to tear down the East Wing for a $300 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom.

Funded by private donors, as Trump claims, the ballroom still faces fierce backlash, with an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll showing 56% of Americans opposed—45% of them strongly so—while only 28% give it a thumbs-up.

Critics call the ballroom a vanity project that thumbs its nose at White House history, and while one can empathize with wanting to preserve tradition, isn’t it time we stopped treating every brick as untouchable in the face of bold ideas?
