Trump gives a confusing interview. Donald Trump is receiving sharp criticism for a plan to paint over the Eisenhower Building. All developments in the news blog.
US President Donald Trump gave a detailed interview to the US show “Full Measure”. In the conversation, Trump claimed, among other things, that he would “eventually” get Iran’s enriched uranium, “along with everything we want.”
Trump also spoke about vaccinating babies and toddlers: “I see these beautiful little babies and they have a big container, a big glass, full of something pumped into their body. I think that’s a very negative thing. I would like to see much smaller injections, which means you go to the doctor four times. Then you would have much better results with autism.” What exactly Trump is talking about is unclear. A connection between vaccinations and autism diagnoses has not been scientifically proven, but is repeatedly cited by opponents of vaccinations.
In the interview, the US President also incorrectly said that he had ended eight wars and had “the best economy of all time.” When asked when he would make good on the announcement he made with Elon Musk to visit Fort Knox and check the gold reserves, Trump seemed unable to remember: “What are you talking about?” he replied to the journalist.
Trump wants to have the historic Eisenhower building painted – and is receiving criticism
US President Donald Trump wants to have the historic Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House painted white – and is encountering strong resistance from monument conservationists, historians and architects. Trump had already described the building’s gray granite facade as a “really bad color” last year and declared: “Grey is for funerals.” The government argues that the building should visually match the White House better.
According to the Trump administration, the project could cost at least $7.5 million. The plan is either to paint only parts of the facade white or to paint over the entire building. But critics warn that paint applied to granite can trap moisture, causing permanent damage. Several monument and architecture associations speak of an “irreversible” change to a national landmark. A lawsuit against the project is already pending.
