88 ft. Two of them. Largest ever poles at the White House.

Poles. They are flag poles.

Although I’m sure he wishes he could install permanent polls. 555

Golf clap. How appropriate.

At least the verb, install, was employed as opposed to another verb normally used to describe the act of setting in such perpendicular fascinators fixtures.

Without Internet searching, where do you think are the largest flags/flagpoles?

[Axtremus]

If I have to guess, I'd say China.

1 – Jeddah Flagpole, Saudi Arabia

Made from more than 500 tons of steel, the flagpole was built in three stages and stands at 171 metres (561ft) high. The Jeddah flagpole proudly flies the Saudi Arabian flag which measures 33m by 49.5m (108ft by 162ft) and weighs over 570kg (1260 lbs).

@Axtremus Ah, I learned something today!

I had assumed that the one on the DPRK - ROK border was still the largest, but it has been taken over.

(ROK put up a large flag, DPRK put up an even bigger one. LOL)

What would international relations be without the ever present pissing contest?

TNCR until recently.
