WASHINGTON — President Trump is changing the way he approaches the West Wing — literally — by swapping out the current gray and brown pavers for a black granite walkway, The Post can exclusively reveal.

The swap will affect the West Wing Colonnade, the walking path from the executive residence to the Oval Office.

Preparation for the construction work began on Monday.

The covered, column-lined pathway runs alongside the Rose Garden and takes pedestrians past the Presidential Walk of Fame, Trump’s installation of framed portraits of past chief executives — and one autopen in the case of Joe Biden................

And he has zero budget constraints, the American taxpayers will foot the bill for his every whim.

This will never be finished, it will become a symbol of his failure next year and the year after.

He's thinking, "Fuck it, I'll leave my mark, that'll show 'em"! And in the process he'll make the next Democratic president clean up his mess, just like other Republican presidents have done to their successors.

the Inauguration ceremony? The next ceremony is going to have to last for weeks. I can't imagine how long it's going to take to remove all the gold flea market finds, patch the holes and restore the building to its former "normie" status. What a mess.

It was probably farther for him to walk the inside hallways, so he did a straight shot outside. He is too old and frail to make the longer trip.
