No modern president has been as visceral about Washington as Trump – and his contempt offers insight into his politics and his character.
Washington’s marbled monuments have also been the been the backdrop for some of the most notorious moments of Trump’s political career and have highlighted his autocratic leanings.
In 2020, he tweeted that people protesting the death of Floyd would be met by “vicious dogs” if they breached the White House fence.
Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush were always keen to swap the White House for their Texas ranches.
Presidents have also often ventured out of the White House for refreshment.
