They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.
The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement

Yeah but the communists didn’t manage it. Far right authoritarians like Putin, Bin Laden, and the heritage foundation did

I really don’t think the funny shoe man from the 60’s is to blame for this.

My rats were pretty intelligent and they didn’t shit where they ate or slept. And they weren’t in the Epstein files. So this comparison doesn’t fly at all.
Khanzarate@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Weren’t in the Epstein files as far as you know.
But yeah I had rats I’d vote for them over trump for anything.

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.
SPRUNT@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Or the ketchup.
kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Of everything, this is low on the list of things to be annoyed about. While there were probably better ways, this is an area used for gatherings and DC being DC, it is pretty marshy and unusable as a lawn. There have been plans for a long time to do something like this.
Sertou@lemmy.world 2 months ago
More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can’t get too worked up over this.
TWeaK@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Also the actual roses were in the bushes on the side.
I’m pretty sure they did actually get rid of a lot of the flowers anyway and got rid of things they shouldn’t have, but the layout of it isn’t so drastically changed and the lawn can easily be replaced.

Between this and the ballroom it would be a minor blessing if Canada burnt the place down again.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Again?
Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Again.
We (as Brits) burned it in 1812.

Never mind minor, the world would breathe a sigh of relief.
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
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.
someguy3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No no it’s the Epstein distraction ballroom.
makyo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I will make sure to always call it the “Fuck Donald J Trump Ballroom” in his memory
GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Rename the ballroom to whatever, but name the restrooms the “Donald J. Trump Shit and Piss Closets”
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Why keep the ballroom? Take a bulldozer through it.

He hardly needs to try when he’ll be an irrevocable unmovable stain on the US ledgers of record and national reputation forever.

wierd amount of people coming out of the woodwork to defend the concrete pavement by trump.

the_tab_key@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Bahnd@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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.

kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Honestly, I’m amazed he managed to restrain himself from making it mostly gold. Can’t imagine that this ballroom will have such restraint.

Gross. It looks like an open air mall food court.

That looks like a little mini Tiananmen Square. Dictators love a big slab of concrete.

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.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
The garden wasn’t replaced. the grass lawn was. big difference
HubertManne@piefed.social 2 months ago
I don't suppose the organic garden is still around along with the whitehouse mead made from honey of beehives on the grounds.

Kirp123@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s a good representation of this new regime. Tear down nature and replace it with a parking lot.

It’s more nature that what’s there now
Kirp123@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I guess a concrete lot is better in your opinion.
JustJack23@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
A good representation of the old regimen, as unnatural as concrete, but at least trying to appear natural

It’s nature…just not “wild” nature.
