It looks like they’re getting rid of the grass that was under the seating area. They’re also putting French drains around that gathering area.
The roses and topiaries are still there, they’re just redoing the area where the chairs and tables go.
This is landscaping change is pretty low on my lists of concerns about Trump. I have a lot of greenery in my yard, and I also put gravel and stone under the seating areas.
I agree. I despise Trump. But removing a lawn and putting in hardscape, in a spot where people often gather for events, is not an insult to heritage or anything like that.
If a president that I otherwise liked did this, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
It’s not as if a lawn is super environmentally valuable. And I doubt people spread picnic blankets and play Frisbee on this lawn - they put chairs on it and walk on it with heels and hold events and stuff. A hard surface is the right thing for that type of use.
And if a future president decides to put lawn back in, they can! It’s not as blades of grass and sandy growing medium are irreplaceable.
Ah if it’s just grass, fine. I hate grass. Always needing water or it’s gonna catch fire. And allergies to go around. Grass can go.
Let’s save all the outrage for cutting Medicare, starting wars. That’s where my ragebait is.
trump could be eating crackers and that would make me anti-cracker eating
He is the white trash of presidents
Does this guy just sit up all day trying to find new ways to be a fucking piece of shit asshole?
It’s part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.People keep trying to attribute planning to what can be much more plausibly explained by idiocy. Trump is not “strategically” dozing the rose garden to distract from the real news, he’s just a tasteless brutish moron.
People keep trying to attribute maliciousness to stupidity as well. Mostly because it’s easier to dismiss stupidity than argue against it.
He’s shortsighted, narcissistic, and petty. But he doesn’t do things just to prove how much of a big idiot he is. Dismissing everything he does as “idiocy” just gives him more leash to piss on everyone from.
I wouldn’t say those two things are mutually exclusive, Trump is dumber than shit and also a raging malicious bastard. The Nazis were both malicious as hell and stupid as fuck.
I would argue that malice is born from stupidity.
I would say the opposite. At least for the basis of this train of thought. That maliciousness makes one single-minded in their ideals and goals, which inevitably devolves into “Get mine, fuck them”. Which is inherently destructive, both for the person in question and those around them.
Which is inherently stupid.
He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren’t idiots.
It’s either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuffIt’s the gish gallop of news: do as much bullshit as possible so nothing can be effectively blocked or countered.
No. It comes naturally from decades of practice.
Yes
Yeah how you wake up at 3:00 in the morning with a great idea but by noon you realize it was stupid. Noon never comes for him.
Gonna pave it with gold toilets so he can shit together with all his friend
Dunno man, he and Elon are having quite the “will they, won’t they ruin America” moment right now. He’ll be solo for a bit.
Ten bucks says the next part is a statue.
This one?
NSFW
I really doubt his ass isn’t covered in shit.
Mark that shit as NSFW, please. That’s worse than Burns’ portrait.
Ok, what the fuck am I looking at? Is that actually the toddler in chief?
Next up: painting the White House with cheap gold paint.
Especially the showers
It’ll be expensive gold paint from one of Don’s mates
How long until he changes the US flag to one with his face on?
Like his social media avatar
Oh, it will happen.
And when will he force every home and business to have a portrait of himself on the walls? Because, that will probably happen, too.
He’s admitted he admires North Korea’s dictator and the way he’s treated
i’m perfectly capable of hanging pictures facing the wall
That sounds like something he would do on July 4th
Nah, he cares about that holiday, not ones that celebrate minorities. So I’m guessing some time again this month in opposition to Pride, or Indigenous Peoples’ Day will have some bullshit. Even though Google already got rid of that from their calendars and kept Columbus.
Cosmetic injustices like this are an intentional distraction from the regime’s attempts to steal all public funds, kill Americans who need Medicaid, continue their ethnic cleansing campaign at home and support Israel and Russia’s ongoing genocides.
it’s for parking his motor coach
kill the fucker duo already
Imagine being this tasteless
Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.
he needs a place to bury melania.
I believe the succubus is returned back to hellfire once they depart this plane of existence.
He needs a place to be buried.
preferably in a dog park
Anyone check if there’s any evidence there?
Turning the white house into mar-a-lago 2?!
