What an asshole.
Now he’s crossed the line.
This is a perfect summary of Trump’s entire personality. Destroy something beautiful and place it over with unthinking white artificial rock and a show of false patriotism.
“The grass just, it doesn’t work,” he told Fox News during a White House tour in March. “We use it for press conferences and it doesn’t work because the people fall into the wet grass.”
He’s still a massive asshole, but this is probably the strongest argument he has ever made.
Or you can, you know, make the podium elsewhere on the yard. Why specifically dig up the rose garden? (Don’t answer that, we all know why)
Translation: I slipped in the mud once.
Deeper translation: I’m old, unsteady and in poor physical shape so I slip and fall easily.
Oh man, good thing concrete is so much softer than wet mud! Wouldn’t want the geriatric felonious traitor to break his hip or crack his skull from a fall, now would we?
I hope they polish it real smooth.
I’m rooting for the ice
Warn your loved ones about menacing, life-robbing black ice.

And for our enemies?
Like he won’t plan to winter in Floriduh once he’s crowned king.
Hopefully he’s there during a cat 5 and gets blown the fuck into the Gulf of Mexico.
Sadly, Mar-a-Lardo is on the Atlantic side. Does it matter which body of water he’s disposed in?
Not as big a deal in DC’s climate, but here in often-arid California, it’s generally considered responsible to phase out water-hungry lawns in favor of landscaping that doesn’t require as much water. Drought-tolerant plants, gravel, rock gardens, concrete, whatever.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeriscaping
The lawn was an English custom, and trying to reproduce a little piece of wet England by pouring enough water on arid or semi-arid land day in and day out is kind of wasteful.
If you need the cushiony and rapidly-self-healing properties of lawn because people are running around on it, that’s one thing, but people spend more time indoors than they did historically, and as just a thing to look at, it’s not a great default. Plus, kind of high maintenance.
A factor for a number of Western states.
That being said, this wasn’t the rationale, and frankly, it’s probably basically irrelevant for somewhere like the White House relative to the functional impact.
That makes total sense in the West, but in DC, and in the Eastern US more generally, droughts are not nearly as much of a concern.
Things are different in different geographical locations? Who knew?
Back in 1908 the garden had cement walkways.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Rose_Garden
I think that’s gravel, looking closely at the image.
That being said, I don’t know whether concrete walkways were much of a thing in 1908. Gravel might have been the closest common option to what we’d more-commonly use concrete for today.
“women are having trouble walking on the grass in high heels. People are falling over”
Something just doesn’t seem honest about a press location that’s been there for decades
“Trump will be installing a grand patio in kind with Mar-a-Lago”
Got it, plastering his shit brand across the walls to point and say “i DiD tHaT, pEoPlE wErE cRyInG, tElLiNg Me It WaS sO bEaUtIfUl”
“women are having trouble walking on the grass in high heels. People are falling over”
Trump has been having trouble walking on the grass in high heels. Trump keeps falling over.
He doesn’t give a shit about women in heels.
He doesn’t give a shit about women in heels, but he doesn’t mind women in heels. It’s so much harder to run away when wearing heels, you know?
What a small, insecure man.
What a fucking worthless subhuman cretin.
Gonna need to deep clean (aka douche) the entire WH after that chump kicks the bucket. It’s gonna be so nasty. The Bog of Eternal Stench has nothing on that place right now 🤢🤮
Don’t worry there should be plenty of insurance money when Canada finally invades again to burn the fucker down
Insurance policies specifically exclude war :/
The whole thing this time, not just the White House. Please and Thank you.
We’re gonna make sure it’s a clear case of arson.
We’ll have to call it the ROUS garden, especially if Muskrat keeps lurking around.
Hi, I would like none of my tax dollars to be used for this endeavor, thanks.
Looking for a place to bury another ex-wife for a tax break?
I thought this had to be an onion headline at first, but didn’t he also do this during his first presidency? I seem to remember something about him tearing up a garden.
The first hot wife tore up Jakie Kennedy’s roses for reasons i don’t remember.
Because the entire “family” is soulless filth.
heard he is putting in some cheeto plants
