Trump Fires Arts Board, Plans Gaudy White House Ballroom & “Arc de Trump”
In a move reported by The Washington Post, President Trump dismissed all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts. The White House confirmed the dismissals, stating that new members will be appointed to align with Trump’s “America First Policies”. The Commission, established in 1910, advises on design and aesthetics for government projects, including the President’s controversial plans for a White House ballroom and a proposed “Arc de Trump.” Trump’s actions follow public disapproval of his projects, with a recent poll showing significant opposition to the ballroom plan.
