Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged

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.

FYI that means Trump dictate your actions and you are giving him control over some of your actions/beliefs.
While he lies and flips his position and generally doesn’t give any fucks at all about being a hypocrite.
Please don’t turn your brain off whenever Trump does something.

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.

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.

I know, I know, he’s just paving over the grass, who gives a shit, but if you keep reading:
Are there more White House renovation plans? Yes, Trump has shared plans to build a $100 million ballroom, similar to his private Mar-A-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Gross. So yeah that falls into stealing tax payer money and warrants a rage.
