Or maybe he just actually wants to improve things and isn't the monster you think he is?

Why not paint the whole thing Green or like fix the bridges?

The fact they have to host large dignitary parties on tents on the lawn is a huge security issue in these days of fiber optic drones.

People are complaining because Trump is doing it. Nobody would care - hell, the media would probably excitedly talking about the plans - if it were anyone else.

Bull! People would complain for any President who:

1. Lied to everyone promising it "wouldn't interfere with the current building." [0]

2. Broke federal laws which have always governed changes to these public properties and landmarks.

3. Unconstitutionally spent funds Congress did not approve-of, which applies regardless of whether those funds came in as taxes or as donations.

Feel free to detail what other President did the same actions and nobody cared. Trump's bad reputation comes from his bad actions like these, not the other way around.
