Change in Congress likely means more roadblocks for Trump DC projects
Associated Press ·
In his first public appearance after an election that soundly repudiated his policies, President Donald Trump turned to a topic both familiar and, given the context, surprising. It wasn't his policies or politics. It was his efforts to remake pieces of the city that is the backdrop to his presidency. Despite Trump’s affinity for project management, though, with Democrats taking control of Congress, the work the administration is doing to change the physical face of the District of Columbia is sure to face far more roadblocks. Projects range from the renaming of and renovation plans for the Kennedy Center to remaking a public golf course and erecting an arch 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty without its pedestal.
