Trump boasts about White House Rose Garden makeover
  • US President Donald Trump has introduced a 'Presidential Walk of Fame' along a prominent walkway outside the West Wing of the White House.
  • This new feature will display black-and-white portraits of presidents in gold frames, with Trump saying it was inspired by a similar display he saw at The Hilton.
  • There is uncertainty regarding the inclusion of a portrait of Joe Biden, with Trump jokingly suggesting an autopen image instead.
  • Trump has previously relocated portraits of other presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, and replaced former First Lady Hillary Clinton's portrait with one of himself.
  • Other aesthetic changes made by Trump to the White House include renovating the Rose Garden with a limestone patio, installing two 88-foot flagpoles, and redecorating the Oval Office with gold-themed accents.
