NEW: Donald Trump is obsessing over remodeling the White House like no other president, @marcacaputo.bsky.social reports.

He's spent as many as 20 hours on projects, holding impromptu design sessions between hashing out peace deals and navigating the government shutdown.

Guys like Russel Vought are the real perpetrators of the deep state.
He's the architect behind Project 2025 and now taking over DOGE from Musk.
He wants to bring about fascism and bring an end to our democracy. This POS is a traitor to our country.
