FACTS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S HOUSE

The White House then

Donald can finally count down until his beloved Melania finally moves into his little place. I know I don't often have good things to report about the current presidential family, but I genuinely think it's nice that Melania has chosen to stay in New York with their son Barron so he can finish his school year. She has even hired interior designer Tham Kannalikham to ensure that the house gets a Melania-touch in the form of a glam room for the first lady. Okay okay Mel, nice going. Will there also be a corresponding glam squad like the Kardashians?
A little more about that house where Donald has been living alone for a few months now. I’ll give you some facts you probably didn’t know about his ‘humble abode’:

The West Wing was actually supposed to be a temporary office space

And it used to have quite a boring name. They called it the ‘Executive Office Building’, and it was built when Teddy Roosevelt was still president to create a split between the living area and the workspaces. The building wasn't even connected to the rest of the house until former president Taft (who was a bit on the hefty side) decided it was time for a renovation so the buildings were connected and the gentleman didn’t have to walk so far.

The White House has a twin

You can find it in Ireland. The Leinster House in Dublin to be precise. The Irish architect James Hoban, the man who designed the White House, based his design on the Leinster House which is now used by the Irish parliament.

No free food for Trump

If you thought that all the food, drinks, laundry, and things like toothpaste are always free for the president and his family, then you were wrong. Sure, there’s a chef who prepares all the food, there’s a cleaning team, someone who regularly gets deodorant and toothpaste for him, but free? No way. It gets nicely deducted from Donald's salary (and rightly so).

The White House has its own beer

Thanks to Obama who ensured that for the first time alcohol was brewed. It’s a kind of honey ale beer, made with honey from the beehives of the bees in the South Lawn; the ground on which the White House is located.

Bowling in the basement

Yup, there’s more than just The Situation Room in the basement of the White House. Did you know you could actually bowl down there? It was installed in the building in ’69, when Nixon was still president. I can already hear Trump saying: ‘I’m a great bowler, really great. I’m the best bowler, nobody is better than me.’

Coffee chats

That is done with coffee beans from Hawaiian Kona coffee.

Bubbles

And I don’t mean the champagne they drink, no, thanks to Bill Clinton there’s now a jacuzzi that fits seven people. But um, Donald, Donnie, that golden showers era you’re past that, right? Not so fresh in that jacuzzi.

Good luck with the move, Mel.
