On the weekend, Trump, who was rumored to have died, was not idle in Washington. He personally discovered "shoddy" issues with the White House renovation project he had been carefully managing, which made him very angry. He found a huge crack of 25 yards on the limestone used in the White House Rose Garden, and was very angry, suspecting it was intentional sabotage. After investigation, it turned out that the problem was caused by a subcontractor using a severely damaged and tilted steel cart when installing heavy landscape materials, which rubbed against the stone. Trump decided to replace the stone, charge the contractor, and ban the contractor from working at the White House. He also couldn't help but praise the good security equipment at the White House.
As a real estate developer, Trump made such a big deal about the cracks in the White House stone. On the surface, it seems to be about pursuing building quality, but in reality, it highlights his way of doing things and political mindset. When he told this story, he provided rich details and full emotions, demonstrating a unique narrative ability, turning a small matter into a dramatic one, and skillfully portraying himself as perceptive and decisive. This is consistent with his usual habit of self-promotion and desire to control everything. From a political perspective, he doesn't miss any opportunity to show his authority, even if it's a minor issue like a crack in the stone, he will strongly intervene and demonstrate his power.
