Trump’s Weird White House Fantasy Contains Awkward Confederate Detail

President Trump’s latest golden brainwave has a glaring historical detail with potentially ugly connotations.

Trump, who has spent his second term bulldozing the East Wing to build a vanity ballroom while layering gold accents throughout the White House’s interior and exterior, posted what appeared to be an AI-generated image Monday night of a golden eagle attached to the Truman Balcony.

“A Golden Gift to the White House for its 250th Birthday Year!” the 80-year-old wrote on Truth Social, seemingly confusing America’s 250th anniversary, which marks the 1776 Declaration of Independence, with the White House itself, which was built in 1792.
