Trump Aides Reveal Just How Obsessed He Is With His White House MAGA Makeover (The Daily Beast)Aides say Donald Trump has spent hours poring over the details of his $250 million White House faceliftbreaking for impromptu design sessions, interrupting meetings, and fidgeting with 3D models over meals.
