This is EASILY the GREATEST tweet I've seen today...maybe this MONTH.

[Miles Archer]

(obviously, I am referring to the tweet from Turnbull, not the original from Trump).

Turnbull
@cturnbull1968
Trump is upset that a contractor damaged the stone in his new Rose Garden and is making him replace it.

Just think how upset he’s going to be when Newsom has it all torn up and tossed in a landfill.

1. I want the ugly gold decorations removed ....AND

I want all the ugly gold decorations removed ....AND

And I will help to restore the Jackie Kennedy Rose Garden!

We need to place a commemorative plaque there. The rose garden should be on the historic preservation list!

[Miles Archer]

3. You bring up an EXCELLENT point...

...I'll bet that a MASSIVE volunteer effort would turn out to restore the Rose Garden.

And I DO hope they show Trump's work in its "final resting place," be it a landfill or wherever. Captioned with "MAKING THE ROSE GARDEN GREAT AGAIN." Newsom in his "Newsom Was Right All Along" red hat, giving a thumbs up. The possibilities are endless.

[CrispyQ]

12. Doze the new cement garden & the White House & rebuild w/ union labor.

Also, rename it The People's House.

[Hekate]

13. I am with you on that B&C, and for once I hope the mad orange king is alive to see it

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yup, that's OUR house, not his.

We the People want it all restored NOW, on his fucking dime. I want to see him, and his fucking wife, kids, their spouses, and grandchilden provide the labor for restoring the Rose Garden, too. Make those filthy parasites do some actual work for a change.

And, I'm calling bullshit on the fancy marble, or whatever the hell he's claiming. I have little doubt that it's concrete dressed up to look like marble, because he's a goddamn cheapskate who likes to cut corners..

[Bread and Circuses]

36. 👏👏👏

29. I don't know if the picture I saw was faked or not...

But the new White House patio had chairs and umbrella tables that were orange. it looks like he wants that patio space for a bunch of umbrella tables like it's a theme park.
Psychologically it makes sense - he loves being the honoree/headliner in front of a crowd and that's what he's used to.
That's what the ballroom is for - the indoor version of that with less weather interference. The patio is for that so he doesn't have to wait.
Remember how there were always reports that he'd crash weddings at Mar-a-Lago and officiate as a celebrity whether requested to or not?
That's the point of these refurbs that are longer than 3 years since he's planning to stay there - or hoping this is the last place he stays.

Blue-sky thinking way forward I don't think having that kind of space at the White House is a bad thing, but his concept is cramming in as many people as possible.
I hope it gets re-planted as a garden, and then instead of umbrella tables there could be a terrace with a pavilion or colonnade structure as part of it - perhaps matching the columns of the White House with a roof and it could have outdoor tables for smaller events, lawn and garden seating. More designed garden space, less food-court seating.

[Bread and Circuses]

37. Agree...

Having a patio and sitting area can be useful but not on top of Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden

[johnnyfins]

32. And, like the cheap patio tables and umbrellas,

All of his precious patio surfaces should be air dropped into the Mar A Lago pool.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[LaRaven]

2. Ahaha

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. OMG, what a tragedy!

The contractor's rep was wearing sunglasses!?!? Off with his head. Or something.

[Disaffected]

4. Gak. He sounds like a kid whining to his parents

about a broken toy.

[Deuxcents]

6. He acts like all this is personally his and he paid for it all. I don't think he wants to leave OUR house again

[2MuchNoise]

7. Well, if you left the grass there, you wouldn't have those kinds of problems.

You twit!

[Jughead]

8. Is this

His priority? Tweeting about this?

[sellitman]

9. Hopefully Trump isn't around when his rose garden and ballroom get demolished

Unless there is a camera in hell.

[electric_blue68]

10. Was that written by drumphf? Again, No Caps, No (!!), better sentences

People will cheer when The Rose Garden is re-turfed, after breakkng up, and tossing our your stonework!

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Limestone is soft and not a very wise choice for a flat surface.

[LudwigPastorius]

23. Yeah, but this...

is “limestone plus”!



I hope the original contractor threw in some magic beans too.

[haele]

35. Travertine? Maybe extra dense limestone...

No matter, limestone is soft, and even travertine will ding or scratch if you drag a heavy iron patio table or maybe an iron patio chair with someone sitting in it across the surface.

[IzzaNuDay]

47. The next hard freeze in DC should screw up that limestone.

IIRC, limestone is porous— so that big beautiful patio may end up as a glorified sandbox!

[pacalo]

14. The best line from crybaby: "And I didn't say this in a nice manner."

[joho260]

15. DJT Memorial

Rip out the "beautiful stone" and use it to create the Trump Memorial. Locate it 250+ yards north of the site of the former Alligator Alcatraz.

[Celerity]

16. for those who cannot see X

[Blue Full Moon]

17. Melt the gold baubles into bars and send back to Fort Knox

[TurboDem]

19. I think you meant

return the gold baubles to Hobby Lobby and get his $2.95 refund.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Can't melt spray paint into bars.

[70sEraVet]

20. Why is he still referring to it as a 'Rose Garden'?

The 'Walmart Parking Lot' would be a better description.

[flvegan]

22. Is that post from Trump real?

He sounds like a 6 year old doing a "what I did this summer" during the first day of school.

A treasonous pedophile AND a raging moron. What a package. Good job, 'Merica!

[Miles Archer]

33. Yes, sadly, it is.

Daily Beast did an entire feature article on it. In the second paragraph below, the word "RANT" is a hot link to the Truth Social post. As you might assume, correctly, I have no intention of posting a Truth Social link here, but it's right there in the article if you want it:

After disappearing for four days, President Trump took to Truth Social Saturday to inform the public about one thing he did this week: yell at landscapers.

His angry rant about a gardening snafu in the Rose Garden ended with a contractor being barred from the White House following a detailed investigation into a horticultural offense.

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. "I am very proud of the beautiful stonework we did in the Rose Garden, in this case, using limestone plus"

He knows everything about building and stonework.

"Limestone Plus" is simply a clear coating that is put over brick and concrete and stone to keep it waterproof.

[colorado_ufo]

25. All that drama just to get a few stones fixed!

I'm sure the contractor would have been happy to do that once he found out about the problem. Good gravy.

[tavernier]

42. This is Rump's M.O.

Hire a contractor. Blame him for some exaggerated problem. Make him fix it and pay for it, plus labor. Fire him.

He has done that for years. Sometimes he sues them if they try to make trouble.

[sop]

26. Next he'll be tweeting about stolen strawberries while rolling a couple of steel balls around in his hand.

[BidenRocks]

27. I Call BULLSHIT!

Having worked on Mahogany Row at a few of the big studios, I must say we were extremely careful with ladders and other tools. That said, shit happens. The last thing you do is hope nobody notices.

Contractors have insurance for things like this, don't they?

Unless chump hired the lowest of the lowball bids and pocketed the rest.

25 YARDS LONG!? That's 75 Feet!

Chump is in the land of delusion.

Let's go Grim Reaper!

[sop]

41. "Unless chump hired the lowest of the lowball bids and pocketed the rest"

He's definitely taking kickbacks on all this.

[rzemanfl]

28. Sunglasses??? TSF doesn't even wear those for

eclipses. He will probably send ICE after the boss.

[underpants]

30. Sunglasses??? He didn't remove them and say SIR? He's a child.

nasty! I started yelling, "Who did this, and I want to find out now!" — And I didn't say this in a nice manner.

[jmowreader]

31. I don't agree with tossing it in a landfill

Instead, send it to a crushing plant and use the gravel to make the Donald J. Trump Memorial - which will be like the Vietnam Memorial Wall, except all the names will be people who were killed by his policies.

[Miles Archer]

34. I don't care one way or another about the specifics. All I want to see is...

...Newsom, smiling and giving a thumbs up to the camera when it happens.

[BidenRocks]

43. We're gonna need a bigger wall!

[jmowreader]

45. This one is formed into perimeter fencing...

Inside the perimeter is Trump in a pup tent. We feed him by putting sacks of canned goods in a catapult and lobbing them over the side.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

38. Q: Why is Trump crazy? A: Because he lost his marble!

[NJCher]

39. use of the singular

Is oh so appropriate.

[Vinca]

40. I hereby volunteer to go to Washington and help tear that ugly thing up and replant the garden.

[Blue Owl]

44. Musings of a demented fat fuck piece of shit

[IzzaNuDay]

46. Recycle the marble for his tomb.

Then he can have his patio-tomb forever.
