Current state of the White House Rose Garden:

[demmiblue]

First he chopped down Jackie’s trees, now he’s paving over the lawn she put in place.
It’s called the Rose “Garden”, not the Rose “patio”, you Hobby Lobby clearance rack reject.

1. 88 paving tiles? 8x8 meters? Space for 88 tables?

[Aviation Pro]

12. Look up 88 and Hitler

There’s your answer.

18. Thanks. I am well aware of the trope and also that the flagpoles are 88 ft tall

But regardless, thank you for taking to time to inform with a link not only for me, but for readers.

2. That shit can be torn out

and a new garden planted when a real President takes office .
(And toss those flagpoles in the Potomac along with the gilt ticky tackies)


✌🏻

[Wiz Imp]

13. Yeah, but it's a big waste of money

He seems to be doing it to intentionally prove how big an asshole he can be.

[dweller]

17. Of course he is

But demo and dirt replacement and greenery won’t be as expensive as his assholery


✌🏻

30. Others have suggested, it is the only part of the job he likes to do

While Trump historically has epically awful taste, he loves interior and exterior design. These jobs are typically done by the first lady. Yet Trump has thrown himself into redecorating the White House and grounds. And he enjoys it. That it looks awful is only because Trump is bad at everything. But hilariously, he likes doing this.

Being the fucking president, he hates. But decorating shit in awful ways, he loves. In another life, he'd be some homemaker specialist.

14. Camping World would love the poles.

Even if they are small by CW standards.

[Vinca]

3. What's he going to do - put up a shrine to himself?

[Deuxcents]

4. That can be torn down, too

[Jerry2144]

31. I'd save it then

Put it behind bars. Put a plaque exposing his treason and how he harmed our country. Do the same with those Confederate monuments and statues. They are part of our evil history, make it educational

[allegorical oracle]

32. It's slated to be a BALLROOM...like back in The Gilded Age. That notion is the

height of irony. The guy who dances by pumping his arms is building a dance floor. My question is will it include a roof? If so, wonder if that will alter the exterior appearance of the WH. The flag poles, imo, have already marred the historic appearance of the north and south exteriors.

[Vinca]

33. Close your eyes and imagine the double jerk off dancer in his penguin tux waltzing.

[chowder66]

5. Where's Melania?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. In NYC hovering over mamma's boy Barron. . . . . nt

[chowder66]

20. Are you sure she isn't under the gravel?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. He's still collecting documents; won't need a big empty coffin until late 2028. . . . nt

[chowder66]

23. Snicker.

[CTyankee]

22. "That'll cost you extra, Donald" is probably the answer. She is strictly "pay per view."

[SheltieLover]

6. Appears he has some deep seated issues with the Kennedys

[EarthAbides]

7. Ugly

I still think he plans on putting in a throne...

8. May the Orange creep be visited by the ghost of

Dolly Madison.

The White House is known as Washington’s most haunted building. It’s no wonder considering the tumultuous times that our Presidents and their families have endured while living there. Many historians credit Dolley Madison with establishing the first Rose Garden on the muddy grounds of the “President’s House,” as it was then known. When President Woodrow Wilson’s wife Edith asked two employees to transfer the garden to another location, the angry ghost of Dolley Madison appeared to them. As a result, the Rose Garden remains in its original location to this day.The lilac was Dolley’s favorite flower, and she was well known for her lilac perfume. After the burning of the President’s House, Dolley and President Madison resided at the nearby Octagon House. Local legend claims that when visitors detect the scent of lilac there, the spirit of Dolley Madison is present.

9. Every other president has said the White House is the people's house.

The president and his family are only occupants. There is always different rules for djt.

10. Jackie's grass will be popping through the concrete within 5 years

I guess King Blob is too unsteady to walk on grass.

This a good idea, he'll bash his stupid head in when he does fall on it.

27. God Bless The Grass - Malvina Reynolds

God bless the grass that grows thru the crack
They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do
It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru
And God bless the grass

God bless the truth that fights toward the sun
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
It moves through the ground and reaches for the air
And after a while it is growing everywhere
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that grows through cement
It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent
But after a while it lifts up its head
For the grass is living and the stone is dead
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that's gentle and low
Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor
And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door
And God bless the grass

15. This can be removed and replaced... if America survives this nightmare

Jackie Kennedy told the L.A. (Sears) that what she wanted was a green space where the
President, foreign leaders, members of both parties could meet in a decompressed
environment to talk to each other and it worked like a champ for generations but Krasnov
just had to fuck with it.

Btw I am kind of an expert in this shit.

Btw part 2. I don’t know what got saved from Jackie’s first rose garden but it had roses
or the propagated lines of roses from back to Mary Todd Lincoln.

[electric_blue68]

24. Not sure, but I think some of those got removed...

bc people were particularly upset about that aspect.

If they were preserved somewhere else (I hope so!) I don't know.

[Hekate]

16. What a waste. What a fraud. Such abuse

[peggysue2]

25. He's living up to the Russian's favorite nick-name for him

The Destroyer . . .

Of America.

[markie]

26. he's not human

I'm sad. I'm angry... I have nightmares most nights worrying about how cruel and dehumanizing this all is

[Nictuku]

28. One Word: Disgust!!!

[yellow dahlia]

29. I HATE these people.

There - I said it out loud.
