Topline
President Donald Trump shared more than two dozen photos on Truth Social Friday afternoon showing the White House’s Lincoln Bathroom redone completely in marble, the latest chapter in his White House remodels, which sparked controversy as he ordered the East Wing to be knocked down for a $300 million ballroom.
Key Facts
The bathroom attached to the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom now features marble floors and walls, which Trump said on Truth Social is “very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there.”
Trump previously told NBC News he planned on redoing the bathroom as part of his White House renovations, stating at the time the Lincoln Bathroom was “terribly” modeled.
Trump said on Truth Social the bathroom previously featured green tiles in an art deco style, which he said was “totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era.”
The photos show a marble sink, shower and bathtub, with much of the room featuring gold accents, including faucets and flower pots, with a robe bearing the presidential seal hanging on the wall.
Trump also said in a Friday afternoon post the Kennedy Center, which he took over as chairman earlier this year, is also being remodeled with marble and new carpeting, claiming the arts center was “dead as a doornail, but it will soon be beautiful again!”
What Else Do We Know About Trump’s White House Renovations?
The White House’s East Wing was torn down last week in preparation for the construction of a ballroom Trump has said will cost $300 million. Trump said in a Truth Social post last week construction had begun on the project, claiming the project is privately funded and will proceed at “zero cost to the American Taxpayer.” The project has stirred some backlash, as House Democrats have demanded the White House explain how it is funding the project and whether donors were promised any benefits in return. “The opaque nature of this scheme reinforces concern that President Trump is again selling presidential access to individuals or entities, including foreign nationals and corporate actors, with vested interests in federal action,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, criticizing the administration for carrying out the project “in secret without congressional or other oversight or appropriate public scrutiny.” A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released Thursday found 56% of the more than 2,700 adults surveyed opposed the demolition of the East Wing, with just 28% voicing support and another 16% unsure. Nearly all Democrats, 88%, said they opposed the project, while 61% of Republicans said they support it.
Tangent
Trump’s renovation plans have proceeded throughout the government shutdown, which has lingered for a month, and as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program food stamps benefits are slated to run out this weekend. A federal judge ruled Friday afternoon the Trump administration cannot block food stamps benefits and must use emergency funds to at least partially cover benefits in November.
Surprising Fact
Ticket sales at the Kennedy Center have plummeted months after Trump installed himself as chairman, a Washington Post analysis found. Since early September, just 57% of tickets were sold for productions, compared to 93% sold in fall 2024 and 80% sold in fall 2023.
Donald Trump needed a glitter room for his balls. Now Trump needs a marble shithouse that aligns with his vision for America.
What a shitter!
There are no photos of the original Lincoln bedroom because photography was not generally used for interior shots during his lifetime. There is some belief it looked similar to this
The Lincoln bedroom and bathroom was added by Harry Truman during his structural restoration of the White House.
When Abraham Lincoln was in the White House, the room was the executive office and cabinet room. Theodore Roosevelt added the West Wing and Oval Office. Lincoln's executive office had to be inside the main structure of the White House. This is what the Lincoln bedroom looked like during Lincoln's Presidency:
How many top secret documents does he have stashed away there ?

Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton demurred when asked what he thought about the “optics” of President Donald Trump’s marble bathroom makeover as Americans are hurting over the government shutdown that’s entering its second month.
“President Trump unveiling more changes to the White House today,” Began anchor Boris Sanchez . “Posting on Truth Social that he renovated the Lincoln bathroom because the Art Deco style was inappropriate for the Lincoln era.”
Sanchez then needled the conservative. “Shermichael, the optics of this during a government shutdown,” he said. “That’s a lot of marble and gold.”
“You know, look, I don’t have a problem with gold, but I would probably say to the president, ‘Let’s just politically get over this little moment and then we can go back to making all the changes you want to make,” Singleton said, looking sheepish. “I do worry, however, if we give our Democratic friends something to sort of use against us. I don’t want to do that!”
Liberal guest Adrienne Elrod declared, “Billionaire tech CEOs are paying for this while the government’s shut down. And millions of Americans aren’t getting their SNAP benefits, and millions of Americans may not get health care.”
“I am partial to the green tile. Jonah, are you?” Sanchez quipped to conservative journalist Jonah Goldberg .
Goldberg invoked former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes to illustrate his point.
“Look, Roger Ailes, who was an interesting person, one of his rules about how to judge talent on TV and TV shows in general was, he would watch them with the sound off. And this is the kind of story that people can watch with the sound off when they’re walking through the airport, or they’re at a bar, and it resonates with normal people who don’t know what a ‘clean CR’ is, who don’t know, and it just comes through,” Goldberg said.
He added that “the messaging and body language” of Trump’s construction projects have been “wildly off.”
“Yeah, it’s a great bathroom. I wish it was in my house,” joked Lulu Garcia-Navarro of The New York Times. “By the way, if any billionaires want to pay for my bathroom renovation, I might be here for it.”
Goldberg then dropped a bomb, saying, “Why was Art Deco historically inappropriate for the Lincoln bathroom but ‘Miami condo, cocaine and hooker party —'”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” admonished Sanchez.
