I want all the ugly gold decorations removed ....AND

And I will help to restore the Jackie Kennedy Rose Garden!

We need to place a commemorative plaque there. The rose garden should be on the historic preservation list!

...I'll bet that a MASSIVE volunteer effort would turn out to restore the Rose Garden.

And I DO hope they show Trump's work in its "final resting place," be it a landfill or wherever. Captioned with "MAKING THE ROSE GARDEN GREAT AGAIN." Newsom in his "Newsom Was Right All Along" red hat, giving a thumbs up. The possibilities are endless.

Also, rename it The People's House.

We the People want it all restored NOW, on his fucking dime. I want to see him, and his fucking wife, kids, their spouses, and grandchilden provide the labor for restoring the Rose Garden, too. Make those filthy parasites do some actual work for a change.

And, I'm calling bullshit on the fancy marble, or whatever the hell he's claiming. I have little doubt that it's concrete dressed up to look like marble, because he's a goddamn cheapskate who likes to cut corners..

But the new White House patio had chairs and umbrella tables that were orange. it looks like he wants that patio space for a bunch of umbrella tables like it's a theme park.
Psychologically it makes sense - he loves being the honoree/headliner in front of a crowd and that's what he's used to.
That's what the ballroom is for - the indoor version of that with less weather interference. The patio is for that so he doesn't have to wait.
Remember how there were always reports that he'd crash weddings at Mar-a-Lago and officiate as a celebrity whether requested to or not?
That's the point of these refurbs that are longer than 3 years since he's planning to stay there - or hoping this is the last place he stays.

Blue-sky thinking way forward I don't think having that kind of space at the White House is a bad thing, but his concept is cramming in as many people as possible.
I hope it gets re-planted as a garden, and then instead of umbrella tables there could be a terrace with a pavilion or colonnade structure as part of it - perhaps matching the columns of the White House with a roof and it could have outdoor tables for smaller events, lawn and garden seating. More designed garden space, less food-court seating.

Having a patio and sitting area can be useful but not on top of Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden

All of his precious patio surfaces should be air dropped into the Mar A Lago pool.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The contractor's rep was wearing sunglasses!?!? Off with his head. Or something.

about a broken toy.

You twit!

His priority? Tweeting about this?

Unless there is a camera in hell.

People will cheer when The Rose Garden is re-turfed, after breakkng up, and tossing our your stonework!

is “limestone plus”!



I hope the original contractor threw in some magic beans too.

No matter, limestone is soft, and even travertine will ding or scratch if you drag a heavy iron patio table or maybe an iron patio chair with someone sitting in it across the surface.

IIRC, limestone is porous— so that big beautiful patio may end up as a glorified sandbox!

Rip out the "beautiful stone" and use it to create the Trump Memorial. Locate it 250+ yards north of the site of the former Alligator Alcatraz.

return the gold baubles to Hobby Lobby and get his $2.95 refund.

The 'Walmart Parking Lot' would be a better description.

He sounds like a 6 year old doing a "what I did this summer" during the first day of school.

A treasonous pedophile AND a raging moron. What a package. Good job, 'Merica!

Daily Beast did an entire feature article on it. In the second paragraph below, the word "RANT" is a hot link to the Truth Social post. As you might assume, correctly, I have no intention of posting a Truth Social link here, but it's right there in the article if you want it:

He knows everything about building and stonework.

"Limestone Plus" is simply a clear coating that is put over brick and concrete and stone to keep it waterproof.

I'm sure the contractor would have been happy to do that once he found out about the problem. Good gravy.

Hire a contractor. Blame him for some exaggerated problem. Make him fix it and pay for it, plus labor. Fire him.

He has done that for years. Sometimes he sues them if they try to make trouble.

Having worked on Mahogany Row at a few of the big studios, I must say we were extremely careful with ladders and other tools. That said, shit happens. The last thing you do is hope nobody notices.

Contractors have insurance for things like this, don't they?

Unless chump hired the lowest of the lowball bids and pocketed the rest.

25 YARDS LONG!? That's 75 Feet!

Chump is in the land of delusion.

Let's go Grim Reaper!

He's definitely taking kickbacks on all this.

eclipses. He will probably send ICE after the boss.

nasty! I started yelling, "Who did this, and I want to find out now!" — And I didn't say this in a nice manner.

Instead, send it to a crushing plant and use the gravel to make the Donald J. Trump Memorial - which will be like the Vietnam Memorial Wall, except all the names will be people who were killed by his policies.

...Newsom, smiling and giving a thumbs up to the camera when it happens.

Inside the perimeter is Trump in a pup tent. We feed him by putting sacks of canned goods in a catapult and lobbing them over the side.

Is oh so appropriate.

Then he can have his patio-tomb forever.
