Donald Trump’s endless White House makeover will now see a statue of Christopher Columbus installed—a nod to Italian Americans that the president hopes will give a boost to Republicans in upcoming midterm elections.
“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero. And he will continue to be honored as such by President Trump,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.
Citing sources familiar with the plans, The Washington Post reports that a reconstructed statue of the 15th-century explorer will be installed on the south side of the White House lawn, north of the Ellipse.
