  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.

      Exactly. Yet another truly awful something is about to happen that’ll get buried under his new patio.

  “Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House,” he began in a post on Truth Social earlier this month.

  "For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself.

  He is so fucking full of himself is almost unbelievable. I’m sure this will turn out just as well as the wall that’s being built and paid for by Mexico.

  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.

  • sthetic@lemmy.ca ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.

    And when will he force every home and business to have a portrait of himself on the walls? Because, that will probably happen, too.

      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.

  The rose gardes deco has gotten controversy, but a green space seems way better then drab concrete. Such a tall flagpole wont even be seen in press conferences. I bet he got stuck in some mud and got mad, and the flag pole is a vain attempt to say hes got a huge pole…

    Melania was expected to do something with it and she had no interest. This reflected poorly on her in a lot of people’s expectations, and so the two of them were like “fuck the rose garden.” End of story. The Trumps will never have class so they figure no one else can either.

  Don’t worry! Once the newly poured concrete has cured, they’re going to cover it in gold tin foil and it’ll be fabulous.
