President Donald Trump recently stated that in addition to his duties as commander in chief, he considers construction to be his second job, characterizing it as a form of relaxation. This declaration comes amidst a period of significant activity in the White House, marked by numerous executive orders and the initiation of a global trade war.

Trump, known for his background as a real-estate developer prior to entering politics, has seemingly embraced this aspect of his past during his current term. "I have two jobs," Trump said, emphasizing his passion for construction, "which is really like relaxation for me because I have been doing it all my life."

Since returning to the White House, Trump has been actively involved in remodeling and renovation projects. These efforts include alterations to the decor and oversight of major renovations within the executive residence. While the specific details of these renovations have not been fully disclosed, they have become a notable feature of his current administration.

Trump's focus on construction and design was also referenced during a recent dinner speech intended to honor Kennedy Center Honorees, including Gloria Gaynor and the band Kiss.

The extent to which these activities impact his other responsibilities remains a point of discussion. Some observers suggest that his involvement in these projects provides a necessary outlet, while others question whether it distracts from more pressing policy matters. The White House has not released a comprehensive statement regarding the cost or scope of the renovations.
