Trump's new security ring around White House: 5 changes transforming the iconic grounds
Donald Trump’s dramatic makeover of the White House has largely been defined by what visitors can see — gold flourishes in the Oval Office, a paved-over Rose Garden and a sprawling new ballroom project. But another, less glamorous transformation is unfolding around the presidential complex. New fencing, restricted public spaces and security work at the White House’s front entrance are changing the physical barriers between the president and the public. Some measures are temporary, while others under consideration could become permanent fixtures. The latest evidence is difficult to miss. Fencing has appeared around stretches of Pennsylvania Avenue and other areas surrounding the White House. The National Park Service says several areas surrounding President's Park are closed throughout August at the request of the Secret Service. The agency says the measures are necessary to create a secure perimeter with sufficient “stand-off distance” around the White House complex.

Mogul, Muse, Swamp Fox: 8 Secret Service code names for Trump’s inner circle straight out of a spy thriller
'Mogul,' 'Muse,' 'Marvel,' 'Bobcat' and 'Swamp Fox' sound more like characters from a spy thriller than names associated with the highest levels of the US government. But they are among the reported Secret Service code names attached to President Donald Trump, members of his family and senior figures around his administration. The latest addition came from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who publicly revealed that he goes by 'Swamp Fox' while speaking at a ceremony in South Carolina on August 11. The contrast with previous administrations is striking. Joe Biden’s 'Celtic' was a straightforward nod to his Irish heritage, while Barack Obama’s 'Renegade' had more swagger. Trump’s family, however, ended up with a particularly theatrical collection. Members of the first family typically receive code names beginning with the same letter. Still, few presidential families have ended up with a collection quite as dramatic as the Trumps.
