Former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump decided to pass along much-needed upgrades to White House security to President Joe Biden because they didn't want to deal with construction noise or alter the aesthetic, CNN reported.
The United States Secret Service, the National Park Service, and the White House worked together to implement new security changes in several phases so it wouldn't upset the first family, but when the final phase was set to start, the Trumps said they didn't want to deal with the construction.
The first lady specifically didn't want the effort to impact the aesthetics of the back lawn, where events could be hosted, CNN reported.
The needed updates have now been going on for several weeks and are forcing Biden to have to take a motorcade for about two minutes every time he wants to get on and off his helicopter, Marine One, because it can't land right by the White House.

Yeah but he let Melania tear up Michelle's vegetable garden and Jackie's rose garden.
