That looks like a little mini Tiananmen Square. Dictators love a big slab of concrete.
Of all the things he’s changed about the country, I bet something like this is what he cares about the most. I can just imagine the tantrum trump will throw when the next president* digs this up and returns it great, or better yet, an actual garden.
* if we get another president.
Oh they are all petty twits.
Regan pitched a fit and removed the solar panels Carter left on the roof when he left office. This is just more proof the regressive party has no taste.
If there ever will be a next US president I expect him to first tear down that new gold wing, then to dig up this shit.
Anything else can wait
that new gold wing
Hows drainage?
Also they kept the much cheaper pavers around it, which looks stupid as hell.
Here I was just glad to see Trump didn’t insist on making it rose gold they didn’t have to change the name
Complains windmills make Scotland ugly.
Proceeds to pave over the Rose Garden.
People: Save the Earth!
Trump: Pave the Earth!
Nothing is more beautiful than polished white marble and gold. Lots and lots of goolllld!
Is the Epstein list buried under there?
Just the list
Am I missing something here? It looks like the roses are still there and he just paved over the big useless lawn.
Anyone else see this? Those rose bushes are still clearly there on the right side of the image. Ifball were talking about is the replacement of some shit grass anyways, who gives a fuck?
It looks tacky and shitty. Like something a child rapist with no taste would like.
So does a fucking lawn. Actually, imo, lawns are worse. It’s a perfect representation of the toxicity of the “American dream”. It’s an unnatural landscape that’s inhospitable to life, sort of like the concrete, costs resources to maintain, unlike the concrete, but it gets some weird psychological pass because it’s green. It’s shit either way.
Talking about “he ripped out the rose garden” is just more sensationalism horseshit when the roses are right there, just fuckin dandy. He tore out a lawn that was equally as shit.
Ow wee… Your opinion isn’t going to be well received. He’s clearly making the white house tacky and gross like he’s tacky and gross. It’s going to take so long to get his skid marks and farts out of the white house. So much industrial cleaner. Just like the US is going to need some industrial cleaner to get rid of the fascists.
Agreed, the whole clutching of pearls over the rose garden is ridiculous. It’s widely accepted that lawns are an unnecessary flex. This area is used for seating so nothing but some grass that was probably in need of constant repair because of all the traffic. This is a big nothing sandwich.
Right, a marble floor is not a flex at all
Grass looked greener than a par 4, and many people give a fuck. Did you want one?
A lawn? Absolutely not. It’s a resource sink for no other reason that vanity. If they weren’t going to put in something useful, like clover or any actual productive plant life, then I’d rather see it capped off and no longer watered. Golf courses too for that matter. Pave them over entirely and build dense urban housing instead on a national scale.
Lawns are bad, yes, replacing lawn with hard impermeable surface, worse.
It’s as if someone turned their whole front yard in to a parking lot.
Yeah that grass square always seemed strange to me even as a kid, since they hosted outdoor parties for visiting foreign dignitaries and grass isn’t the best surface for fancy shoes, especially women’s heels. My brothers and I would sometimes wonder if it opened up to reveal a secret missile base or Aurora landing pad.
Let me guess… these were democrat, woke roses?
Thats fucking horrendous lmao
Between this and the ballroom it would be a minor blessing if Canada burnt the place down again.
Never mind minor, the world would breathe a sigh of relief.
Again?
Again.
We (as Brits) burned it in 1812.
Should make a small nature center there and lead by example. But nah…
I don’t see why pavement is worse than manicured grass
It’s ugly and trashy
Because ants can live on grass but not pavement? Lawn is bad for biodiversity but concrete is much worse.
-
Ants can and do live in paved spaces. There is a layer of sand under the slabs that is easy for them to excavate tunnels from, with the entrance between two slabs.
-
It’s the white house. It gets sprayed for insects anyway.
They should spray a lot more, plenty of bugs there.
You need to get the 12 gauge spray for the kind of bug you’re thinking of.
-
Because it’s a garden?
That being said pre Wilson, it actually had garden beds where the lawn was.
Also ask yourself in the context of a garden, what is better vegetation than grass to walk on?
More space for a Tesler showroom.
But when?
The remodeling started in March or April.
This and the ballroom are Trump trying to leave a permanent mark on the White House behind. If nothing else, he’ll die of natural causes within the next decade, and he knows his name will be cursed from then on. If you have to call it “The Donald J Trump Ballroom”, then he still has something.
Why keep the ballroom? Take a bulldozer through it.
No no it’s the Epstein distraction ballroom.
I will make sure to always call it the “Fuck Donald J Trump Ballroom” in his memory
Rename the ballroom to whatever, but name the restrooms the “Donald J. Trump Shit and Piss Closets”
But the sign on the door should read “Classified Document Storage”
Fuck that just tear it down. But in the most “fuck this were not going to reuse any of this” kinda way. The new president whips his dick out after and pisses on the rubble.
Rename it to the “Barack HUSSEIN Obama” Ballroom.
He hardly needs to try when he’ll be an irrevocable unmovable stain on the US ledgers of record and national reputation forever.
Good. America should never forget.
I’m torn - while I’m not a fan of the new look, I’m also viciously anti-lawn-grass so I can’t complain too much.
Surely solid pavement is still a downgrade from lawn grass, no?
At least it gives him a hard surface to break some brittle old bones on if he falls over.
A girl can dream
That would be some excellent karma!
