Shortly after Trump became the president of the United States and moved to the White House, foreign media revealed that Trump had complained to his golfing partner that the White House was a "dirty and messy place." For him, it seems that his mansion is more comfortable and "high-end". So what is the real environment of the White House? The result was beyond many people's expectations: not only are cockroaches, mice and ants present here, but the ceiling will even leak.

According to foreign media reports such as the American Chinese website, the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington is an old house, which often requires repairers, plumbers and pest removal personnel. The White House repair list obtained by an American TV station showed that cockroaches were found in the staff's restaurant, rats appeared in the war room, leaked ceilings, and even the president's toilet seat cushions were broken.

Shortly after Trump took office, a worker went to replace the toilet seat cushion in a presidential private bathroom near the president's office. The repairman was notified that he would go after get off work. Other work orders include repairing chair legs in the vice president's office, replacing curtains in the office of the first lady of the United States, and repairing leaking ceilings.

According to former U.S. General Services inspector Miller, there is a lot of work to repair the president's home. The General Affairs Bureau has hired contract workers and subcontract workers for maintenance, and the General Affairs Bureau also has to supervise those contract workers. Due to the numerous repair requests, the General Services Agency has an office in the Eisenhower Building near the White House. "They are old buildings. People who have old houses know that it requires a lot of repair work," Miller said.
