    It's part of the strategy.
    Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.

    People keep trying to attribute planning to what can be much more plausibly explained by idiocy. Trump is not "strategically" dozing the rose garden to distract from the real news, he's just a tasteless brutish moron.

    People keep trying to attribute maliciousness to stupidity as well. Mostly because it's easier to dismiss stupidity than argue against it.

    He's shortsighted, narcissistic, and petty. But he doesn't do things just to prove how much of a big idiot he is. Dismissing everything he does as "idiocy" just gives him more leash to piss on everyone from.

    He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren't idiots.
    It's either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

    It looks like they’re getting rid of the grass that was under the seating area. They’re also putting French drains around that gathering area.

    The roses and topiaries are still there, they’re just redoing the area where the chairs and tables go.

    This is landscaping change is pretty low on my lists of concerns about Trump. I have a lot of greenery in my yard, and I also put gravel and stone under the seating areas.

    I agree. I despise Trump. But removing a lawn and putting in hardscape, in a spot where people often gather for events, is not an insult to heritage or anything like that.

    If a president that I otherwise liked did this, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

    It's not as if a lawn is super environmentally valuable. And I doubt people spread picnic blankets and play Frisbee on this lawn - they put chairs on it and walk on it with heels and hold events and stuff. A hard surface is the right thing for that type of use.

    And if a future president decides to put lawn back in, they can! It's not as blades of grass and sandy growing medium are irreplaceable.

    "Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House," he began in a post on Truth Social earlier this month.

    "For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself.

    He is so fucking full of himself it's almost unbelievable. I'm sure this will turn out just as well as the wall that's being built and paid for by Mexico.

    Cosmetic injustices like this are an intentional distraction from the regime's attempts to steal all public funds, kill Americans who need Medicaid, continue their ethnic cleansing campaign at home and support Israel and Russia's ongoing genocides.

    The rose gardes deco has gotten controversy, but a green space seems way better then drab concrete. Such a tall flagpole wont even be seen in press conferences. I bet he got stuck in some mud and got mad, and the flag pole is a vain attempt to say hes got a huge pole..

    That really is all there is to it. Dude can barely navigate stairs. Actually walking on grass after rain makes him look dopy and his ego can't handle it

    Don't worry! Once the newly poured concrete has cured, they're going to cover it in gold tin foil and it'll be fabulous.

    Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.
