How Washington is being 'Trumpified' for America's 250th anniversary | DW News

As the United States prepares to mark 250 years of independence, Washington D.C. is undergoing a visible transformation. President Donald Trump is pushing for sweeping changes across the capital, from redesigned landmarks to ambitious new construction projects. Supporters say the upgrade will enhance the city's appearance ahead of the anniversary. But critics argue the changes blur the line between national symbolism and personal branding. The debate is now playing out in courts, in politics, and on the streets of the capital.
