Washington, DC, looks a little different these days. Since his return to office, President Donald Trump has pushed to physically remake the city in his image, adorning buildings with his name and banners with his face, repainting entire monuments, and even changing the White House itself.

In Union Station, renovations include functional fountains and cleaned marble sculptures, while the National Guard clears surrounding homelessness. But the real changes are on Pennsylvania Avenue: giant banners of Trump's visage appear outside numerous federal buildings, including the Justice Department, prompting questions about his desire for total control.

The White House itself is being transformed with a new ballroom and an American flag that now obscures parts of its facade. The cost has ballooned from $200 million to over $400 million, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. And outside, the Reflecting Pool's renovation, though intended to be impressive, has been plagued by issues like algae blooms.

Looking towards Arlington National Cemetery, Trump’s grand Arc de Trump promises to change the skyline but faces public opposition. At the Kennedy Center and United States Institute of Peace, a giant arch is planned despite widespread disapproval. It remains to be seen whether these monuments will stand as symbols of Trump's legacy or fade into the annals of history.
