Why did Trump/Melania redo the White House Rose Garden (Jackie Kennedy's)? [View all]

[Botany]

They did it just to be pricks. Because nothing tastes sweeter than a liberal's tears and to gas light
America by changing the news cycle. They know that not unless they have massive fraud,
Russian help, and they block mail in voting they are going to lose so why do it now as they are just
about "out the door?" They did it just to be pricks. Outside of the flagstone pavers to allow people with
disabilities access they did not need to do it. I think the crab trees that were removed were not
the ones that Jackie Kennedy had planted because they were smaller then the ones I saw in a
picture of the garden in 1988. I believe that during Melanie's "make over" they removed a number
of roses that date back over 100 years (those roses might not be the original ones but the White House
hort. staff may have propagated the original ones to keep the line going). The crab trees not only
gave a verticle element to the garden but added to the sun vs shadow play under the colonnade.
Especially in the late fall, winter, and early spring.



Outside of the low quality of the design and the work itself doing this now pisses me off because they did it JUST TO BE PRICKS.

BTW even though this is my field the rose garden is nowhere near as important as the >1,000 Americans
per day that are dying from C-19.
