1. UGLY

[Rowdyag]

51. FUGLY

[hauckeye]

2. Are there any roses left?

[haele]

3. Only fake gilded roses on portico pillars.

Maybe a cute little little rosebud centerpiece on scattered tables if they use the area for an event.

[Ocelot II]

5. Plastic ones.

[electric_blue68]

15. After the original redo there were roses towards the back of the ?hedges

Idk about now.

[CrispyQ]

59. I believe the white ones along the side are the ones Melania planted after ripping out a bunch of others. ???

But yes, they got rid of the color & even put white furniture on the white concrete.

White hood not optional.

[spooky3]

4. Looks like the state fairgrounds :-( nt

[Ocelot II]

6. Maybe he'll install a Tilt-A-Whirl and a Tunnel of Love.

The side-show freaks are already there.

[spooky3]

8. Hee hee! Nt

[CanonRay]

16. A Put-Put course!

Just the thing for a feeble minded old fart.

[Xavier Breath]

7. Is it because he's getting afraid of walking on anything that isn't a hard, steady surface?

Guess the entirety of the south lawn will be paved over next.

[jls4561]

9. Also because he hates all living things-flora and fauna.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

49. Good question!

[Ritabert]

10. What are those blue lines?

[speak easy]

12. Seating Guides

[Ms. Toad]

21. It's related to the paving brick lines.

I'm not sure what they are doing, but the blue tape they are applying (or removing) follows the lines between the paving blocks.

[electric_blue68]

23. I think so. I zoomed in.

[Ms. Toad]

24. I also pulled up a few other photos and looked at the stories of the renovation.

Also note the roll of blue tape by one of the workers . . .

[speak easy]

35. Yes. They will paint the cement (gold?)

and the areas masked will serve as seating guides.

[haele]

36. Either that, or everything is one big cement pour...

And they're getting ready to put the "design" treatment over the cement to make it appear to be inlaid stone. Wouldn't be surprised to see gilded brass inlay under that blue tape eventually.

[Ms. Toad]

38. The surface is my concrete pavers.

I'll try to add a link later if then being laid down - the copy paste isn't working on my phone.

But I still wouldn't be surprised to see some fancy metal in the cracks between the pavers

[haele]

39. Not even travertine? What cheap jerks

And the drains are probably 3-D printed resin, probably easy to crack if someone in heels steps too hard.

[Ms. Toad]

40. It might be travertine.

The article described it mostly as concrete - but Trump described it as stone. They certainly looks uniformly white.

[underpants]

54. Yep

[Ms. Toad]

60. I tried to link to this photo earlier,

but cut and paste wasn't working on the URL using my phone.

[Raine]

30. Masking Tape ... nt

[underpants]

53. Here you go

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Impromptu skateboarding rink.

[electric_blue68]

13. Ugh. Bastard.

[allegorical oracle]

14. Bet that concrete will be painted nouveau riche gold at some point. nt

[sop]

17. I wonder if any of those workers are undocumented?

[GoCubsGo]

18. That's not a garden.

It's a fucking patio. The only good thing about it is that it's probably made of the same shitty concrete he uses on his buildings. So, it should be relatively easy to tear it out, and put an actual garden back there. Better send that motherfucker the bill for it. Or, his scummy family, should his cardiovascular system finally give out.

[EarthAbides]

19. I am still expecting to see

a throne...

[LS0999]

20. The Turd garden

Everything about this man is ugly.

[Ping Tung]

22. It needs more gilt and a trophy wife display.

[MizLibby]

25. some nice rustoleum all-weather gold paint

goes between the the painters tape. Lovely diamond touch, no?

[Initech]

26. Everything Trump touches dies!

[Tanuki]

27. Epstein files buried underneath?

[Bristlecone]

28. Looks like a dance floor he can rent out for weddings

And make speeches nobody wants to hear.

[dflprincess]

31. He'll do that with the ballroom he's adding on to the building. nt

[Bread and Circuses]

29. I'm going to bet my coffee money that it will be painted GOLD

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. Trump's Desecration of the Rose Garden

In critiquing Trump's Desecration of the Rose Garden Part II, "the drainage gates are in the shapes [sic] of American flags" metaphor went right over johnny maga's little head.

55. Presidential Seal and AMERICAN FLAGS ON THE GROUND

[Initech]

33. He's turning it into the patio at Mar-A-Shithole.

[underpants]

57. Those are American flags ON THE GROUND

[Initech]

63. It's so cold and sterile that it looks like the lobby at a surgery center.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. Past, Present and Future

[Hekate]

64. God willing

[Blue Full Moon]

37. What did he bury under the concrete?

[EndlessWire]

41. Oh, this is my question!

Except, I want to know what room, shelter or hidey hole is under there. Maybe he's building a facility that will withstand bunker buster bombs.

[Crunchy Frog]

42. The White House is suffering an infestation. It can be fixed if we ever get the Rs out again.

[Emile]

43. Surprised he didn't paint the concrete piss colored gold.

[Kid Berwyn]

44. New Brutalism Hideous

All of a piece ugly.

[Vinca]

45. Fake fucking tiles????????????? Why am I not surprised.

[speak easy]

47. Krasnov's saying that he is paying for it.

Another lie. He's got donations and pocketing the difference.

[Oneironaut]

46. Very sterile, corporate. It reminds me of authoritarianism.

There’s no color. It’s super depressing and hostile.

[bif]

48. The horror. The horror...

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

50. Yep

[underpants]

52. They paved paradise and put up a hocking lot

People will sell their loyalty to Trump to themselves by making donations to his Presidential Library or bitcoin or some other grift he’s come up with.

[peggysue2]

56. The drains resembling the American flag situated around the perimeter of the ugly concrete slab is . . .

A metaphor for the ages: The American Republic on its way down the drain.

Perfect!

[underpants]

58. Yep. On the ground. 😡

[peggysue2]

62. Disgusting!

[Attilatheblond]

61. Between this atrocity and his hoped-for WH ballroom, I get the feeling taxpayer will foot party bills for his donors

But we can be comforted knowing school kids will not be able to concentrate in school due to hunger, and veterans will go without promised care.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

65. It's unbelievable what this ass did to the Rose Garden. 😡

[taxi]

66. It seems that Krasnov's concern about high heels and grass doesn't extent to high heels and drainage grids?

Maybe the drainage areas along the edges will be 'men only'.
