President Donald Trump recently stated that he considers building and construction to be his second job, alongside his duties as commander in chief. Trump, known for his real estate development background before entering politics, made the remark while overseeing renovations at the White House. "I have two jobs," Trump said. "Commander in chief is one, but my real passion appears to be the second. I have a construction job, which is really like relaxation for me because I have been doing it all my life."
Since returning to the White House, Trump has initiated several remodeling projects. These renovations are occurring alongside other significant policy initiatives, including the signing of numerous executive orders and the commencement of a global trade war.
Trump's interest in aesthetics and construction is not new. Prior to his political career, he was a prominent real estate developer, known for projects featuring distinctive designs and luxurious finishes. During a recent dinner speech meant to salute Kennedy Center Honorees such as Gloria Gaynor and the band Kiss, Trump alluded to his passion for building.
The White House renovations have included changes to decor and structural modifications, though specific details of the projects have not been fully disclosed. The extent to which these projects are personally managed by the President remains unclear.
