Fact check: What is the size of the new white house flag

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources contain information about the actual size of the new White House flag itself. All sources focus exclusively on the flagpoles rather than the flags they display. The analyses consistently report that President Trump installed two new flagpoles at the White House - one on the North Lawn and one on the South Lawn.

Flagpole specifications vary slightly across sources:

• Most sources describe the flagpoles as nearly 100 feet tall ^{[1] [2]}
• Some sources provide the more precise measurement of 88 feet ^{[3] [4] [5]}
• Others specify 30.5 meters (approximately 100 feet) ^{[6] [7]}

The installation appears to have been self-funded by Trump at a cost of $100,000 ^[5], and the flagpoles were constructed on both the North and South Lawns of the White House ^{[8] [4]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question specifically asks about flag size, but the available sources provide no information about the dimensions, measurements, or specifications of the actual flags. This represents a significant gap in available information.

Additional context missing from the original question includes:

• The cost and funding source of the installation ^[5]
• Safety concerns raised by former White House staff about the new flagpoles ^[6]
• The comparative height of these flagpoles relative to DC monuments ^{[3] [4]}
• The dual installation on both North and South Lawns rather than a single flag ^{[8] [4]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains an assumption that may be incorrect - it presupposes that there is a "new White House flag" with a specific size that differs from previous flags. However, the analyses suggest the focus has been on new flagpoles rather than new flags themselves.

The question may reflect incomplete understanding of what was actually changed at the White House. The sources indicate that Trump installed new, much taller flagpoles ^{[1] [3] [6]}, but there is no evidence in the provided analyses that the flags themselves are different in size from standard American flags that would have been flown previously.

This could represent a conflation of flagpole installation with flag modification, which might lead to spreading inaccurate information about what specifically changed in the White House's flag display.
