President Donald Trump bragged on Wednesday, "I'm very good at flagpoles!" during what CNN described as an "impromptu tour of his various White House construction projects." CNN's Kasie Hunt reported on the moment during Wednesday's edition of The Arena, explaining, "The president's schedule initially said he was participating in a policy meeting during that time. Instead, he spent 32 minutes ... explaining in painstaking detail the changes that he's bringing to the People's House." While the CNN segment is a supercut of the event, the full clip shows Trump citing a 2025 donation of his, which he described on Truth Social at the time as "two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House."
