President Donald Trump has said the White House was a “dump” before he began renovating it, having been neglected by his predecessors, and boasted that it is “now in better shape than when built in 1792”.
The president spent the weekend in Ireland watching the Irish Open at his golf club in Doonbeg, County Clare, but has already redirected his attention towards his “beautification” agenda in Washington, D.C., rather than to his party’s midterms prospects, ending the Iran war or solving the stubborn cost of living crisis impacting the American public.
