Melania says she will redo the WH Rose Garden.

Raw story, can't do links on phone.

Now that the wall blew down maybe Mexico will pay for the garden redo?

As expected, lots of Titanic jokes.

It is fine to make plans now but not to do work on a garden. You should do it in the spring or the fall when cooler temps and rain will help the new plants to establish themselves.
So is she making plans for gardening to be done in October, a month before the election? That just doesn't make sense unless the idea is to spoil the garden for the Bidens.

Trump's legacy will closely resemble it, with the waste and carnage he's wrought.

You can only spend so much time at the spa. She had so much fun “overseeing” the tennis “pavilion” ...she got to pose for photos looking at blueprints and wearing a hard hat! Just like a real contractor!

The roses can stay - it's the real, living trees that have to come down - Trees of life? Getting something back in return for those development dollars?
