Let me guess… these were democrat, woke roses?
Thats fucking horrendous lmao
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!
Between this and the ballroom it would be a minor blessing if Canada burnt the place down again.
Again?
Again.
We (as Brits) burned it in 1812.
Never mind minor, the world would breathe a sigh of relief.
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 to grass, 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
Is the Epstein list buried under there?
Just the list
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
Should make a small nature center there and lead by example. But nah…
Love to see a change.org petition to this effect
wierd amount of people coming out of the woodwork to defend the concrete pavement by trump.
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?
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.
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.
If we’re talking ChemLawn, I’ll agree with you. But mulch mowing the yard is IMO categorically better than paving (or ChemLawning)
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
And that looks good to you?
I mean i would’ve preferred clover instead but the concrete is precisely as useful to bugs as that grass was.
Think of the savings in lawnmower fuel, it’s so ecological!
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.
There are many reasons for a lawn and cement or tiles is much more pompous, but you sound like you just want attention.
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.
“Pave paradise and put up a parking lot”
Honestly, I’m amazed he managed to restrain himself from making it mostly gold. Can’t imagine that this ballroom will have such restraint.
The cans of gold-colored spray are still around, I’m sure.
When this asshole finally dies or goes to jail (please), we might as well burn the place down and start over. You ain’t ever getting the stench out the walls…
Outside the various shitty adjustments he’s making now, we cannot forget something perhaps bigger. Because of him, an enemy state flag (the flag of the Confederacy) was flown in the White House.
you mean this?
No. Though if I got a nickel for every time Trump is associated with the Confederate flag… it’d be a rich man.
I was specifically speaking to the Jan. 6 intersection attack. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/kevin-seefried-confederate-flag-capitol-jan-6-sentenced-rcna69784
That’s the capitol, though, no…?
That’s the capitol building though
Give Canada a call - we did it once before for you guys… 😏
Come on down, the address hasn’t changed.
If you’re still offering…
Can I sign up for this mailing list?
I’m not familiar what’s the history there?
War of 1812. They burned the White House.
Don’t worry, Canada still takes credit for it.
Well today I learned!
Reference to the war of 1812, it was still ~50 years before Canada slipped the British leash but there’s some weird nationalist revisionist history surrounding it.
Where’s the sign up sheet? I’ll stand on guard for thee.
Or the ketchup.
Like a tacky outlet mall
what the fuck.
I kind of like it in some ways. Much easier to set up events on, like how all those chairs are out there
Easier doesn’t always mean better…
