Let me guess… these were democrat, woke roses?
-
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.
-
-
Thats fucking horrendous lmao
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
wierd amount of people coming out of the woodwork to defend the concrete pavement by trump.
-
"Pave paradise and put up a parking lot"
-
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?
-
-
Or the ketchup.
-
-
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.
-
-
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?
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
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!
-
-
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
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Should make a small nature center there and lead by example. But nah....
-
Love to see a change.org petition to this effect
-
-
It's a good representation of this new regime. Tear down nature and replace it with a parking lot.
-
It also looks like something you'd find at a cheap, trashy resort where children poop in the pool.
-
-
He’s like a rat gnawing on the wires of democracy and this is the visualization of his excrement. Fucking disgusting.
-
Like a tacky outlet mall
-
They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.
-
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...
-
-
-
what was once lush, green, and beautiful, is now a grey, ugly, boring looking stain.
-
Looks like a condo roof
-
Earth in about 80 years when runaway heating deletes us all and makes Venus 2: Anthropogenic Boogaloo
-
-
Are these the Epstein files?! 😶
-
No but they are buried underneath.
-
Epstein Tiles
-
-
Gross. It looks like an open air mall food court.
-
There's your problem. All that grass makes for a terrible child sacrifice during their pedo parties. The blood soaks right in and you never get a chance to collect it for the Sangria mix.
-
It must be strange to only have the grift / destroy setting and no other desire. Tyrant.
-
You really only need three; grovel is also on there.
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
Honestly it's more symbolic of what this regime has done to America
-
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.
-
Let the pigs have their mud.
-
-
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.
-
No no it's the Epstein distraction ballroom.
-
He hardly needs to try when he'll be an irrevocable unmovable stain on the US ledgers of record and national reputation forever.
-
Why keep the ballroom? Take a bulldozer through it.
-
Good. America should never forget.
-
-
That's what you do when you have no mortal soul.
-
The garden wasn't replaced. the grass lawn was. big difference
-
So happy they got rid of all that ugly greenery and replaced it with a nice lively gray
-
Turf grass only looks green; it's usually more ecologically damaging than pavement.
-
-
Yeah a grass lawn with no flowering lawn plants is dull and borderline sterile anyway. At least it's not being replaced with AstroTurf
-
-
They paved paradise and put up some pavement....
-
lol the insignia in the corner, very American
-
Visually it's striking how similar it looks to how Nazi Germany also put eagle motif crests everywhere.
-
i like that the drain grates are American flags... kinda symbolic.
also, this pisses me off, but not as much as his "Goldifying the Oval Office"
-
It's actually very fascist but USAian is basically same thing.
-
-
Someone should create a fuckgrass community so all the virtue signalling can be contained.
-
I think there are communities like that… but for replacing lawn with native plants not paving them over lmao
-
-
I don't suppose the organic garden is still around along with the whitehouse mead made from honey of beehives on the grounds.
-
That looks like a little mini Tiananmen Square. Dictators love a big slab of concrete.
-
Fitting for the shitshack it has become.
-
actually infuriating
-
I don't see why pavement is worse than manicured grass
-
Because ants can live on grass but not pavement? Lawn is bad for biodiversity but concrete is much worse.
-
It's ugly and trashy
-
Because it's a garden?
That being said pre Wilson, it actually had garden beds where the lawn was.
Also ask yourself in the context of a garden, what is better vegetation than grass to walk on?
-
-
Dude’s heels were probably sinking into the dirt during press conferences.
I wonder what kind of entry fee he’s going to concoct now that it has been new and
ruinedimproved. -
More space for a Tesler showroom.
-
I was expecting it to be vulgarly gilded. The orange utan is letting himself go.
-
It's SO plain looking, I'm surprised too! He usually goes for "tackiest possible approach" so this feels like an oversight, even though its objectively a better outcome.
-
he only does it indoors, like with the 200million ball rooms hes going to do.
-
-
I would have returned it to nature with native plants. Krasnov created a smaller Red Square and now he wants a fucking Ballroom for $200 million! WTF!
-
Fucking disgusting
-
This and everything else he has done is expected when you have methed out gutter trash in the White House with no comprehension or respect for history. Would not be surprised if the leg lamp from A Christmas Story is near the entrance.
-
"Rose garden"
-
But when?
-
The remodeling started in March or April.
-
-
The blue safety cones are really glam.
-
A change in architecture to accompany the change in form of government.

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!
