Trump, 79, Goes Full Grumpy Old Man in Rant Over Scratched Rose Garden Stone

The president banned a “stupid” contractor from the Rose Garden after making a shocking discovery.

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.

His post began with a self-congratulatory description of his passion for nice stone.

“Surfaces are very important to me as a Builder,” Trump wrote. “As everyone knows, I built many GREAT Buildings, and other things, over the years.”

"Nice stone," my fat ass. It's the same cheap, Chinese concrete you used in your buildings. That you used our tax dollars to purchase and install. Go fuck yourself, you miserable bag of shit.

Yeah, that's about all that's important to him. Just look at his face. And his wife.

...there's not a chance in hell any publisher would print it---way too outlandish, unrealistic, and depressing. We are in such bad trouble...

Why would any business pursue a contract with the madman? It would never be fully compensated. Tell him to go build it himself.
