Trump Trolls Clintons, Obamas, And Bidens On Humiliating ‘Timeline’ Of WH Renovations
President Donald Trump’s administration is poking fun at his Democratic predecessors in a bold and unapologetic way — by turning the official White House website into a living record of presidential history, complete with their scandals.
As of Thursday, the White House’s new “major events timeline” now chronicles the evolution of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — from its original 1791 plans to Trump’s own lavish renovations — and doesn’t shy away from exposing the low points of former Democratic presidents. The move comes amid liberal outrage over Trump’s privately funded East Wing expansion, which includes a grand ballroom designed for state events.
The new online timeline highlights Trump’s recent upgrades as a point of national pride, including twin 88-foot flagpoles installed on the North and South Lawns, an elegant Rose Garden redesign, and a gold-accented Oval Office renovation inspired by his Mar-a-Lago estate. Each entry notes that the projects were privately funded, costing taxpayers nothing.
But mixed between those accomplishments are entries that draw attention to embarrassing chapters from Democratic administrations — a detail that didn’t go unnoticed.
One 1998 entry is bluntly titled “Bill Clinton Scandal,” describing his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment that followed. Another section revisits President Barack Obama’s 2012 “Muslim Brotherhood Visit,” noting that he hosted members of the Islamist group at the White House — a group designated as a terrorist organization by multiple nations.

Then, there’s the 2023 “Cocaine Discovered” entry under Joe Biden’s presidency, which describes how Secret Service agents found a bag of cocaine in the West Wing lobby. The entry even references Hunter Biden’s past drug use and business dealings abroad.
Further down the timeline, another Biden-era entry titled “Trans Day of Visibility” notes that the administration hosted “transexuals at the White House in 2023,” adding that the event was later formalized as an annual celebration — held, controversially, on Easter Sunday in 2024.

The timeline reads like a visual contrast between patriotism and dysfunction — Trump’s timeline dotted with private donations, architectural restorations, and national pride; his opponents’ entries filled with controversy, corruption, and chaos.
White House staffers say the goal of the project is both educational and celebratory. It offers a sweeping look at the building’s history, from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1934 East Wing addition to Harry Truman’s postwar reconstruction and Nixon’s 1970 briefing room installation. But Trump’s entries clearly stand apart — more recent, more elaborate, and more opulent.
Among the standout projects is the planned $250 million East Wing renovation, which will include a 90,000-square-foot ballroom capable of hosting 1,000 guests. Like Trump’s other initiatives, the massive addition is being funded through private donations — a fact prominently emphasized throughout the timeline.
And if the online outrage from the Left is any indication, Trump’s latest digital renovation might be one of his most effective yet.
