It's no secret that Trump is profiting from his office.
Several companies make cell towers disguised as flagpoles. Since Trump claims to have paid for the poles it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that he bought two flagpole-shaped cell towers and will be collecting the rental revenue from them.

The poles are tapered. The diameter of the poles is bigger at the bottom, about 15.
The flagpole will sway in the slightest breeze.
The cell towers disguised as flagpoles have a much larger diameter, so that the antennas can be concealed within.

Heres a cell tower disguised as a tree. The antennas are on the exterior of the trunk. Fake branches obscure the antennas, but the antennas are clearly visible.
