The White House North Lawn has developed a sinkhole, which is now blocked off by two traffic cones and yellow tape.
On Tuesday, Steve Herman, a reporter from Voice of America, and Breitbart’s Charlie Spiering tweeted images of the sunken turf.

Located outside the entrance to the press briefing room, the hole is “growing larger by the day,” according to Herman.
While a sinkhole on the White House lawn may seem unusual, sinkholes overall are fairly common. In this same exact day in May 2017, Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate where Trump often vacations, also coincidentally developed a four-foot by four-foot sinkhole.
