Oh no. Melania is going to totally renovate Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden. This can't be good.

*spinning in her grave

She has awakened a sleeping dragon.

Good Idea. Because it will go on for weeks, FOX can play clips of comedians attacking Vairst Letty. And, it will give them a chance to attack Michelle Obama, show ugly pictures of her and show how horrible the left is. Tucker/Hannity will make a month out of it. And chance to bring up ALL the failures of the Biden/Obama administration. They couldn't even get a website to work and HE ADMITTED it was his fault!

Bonus: No more press in the Rose Garden. They were afraid he was going to melt.

It's going to convey the ethos of the Trump Administration

She sure waited a long time.

I have some suggestions.

Will she be installing a hot tub?

Will it be in the shape of a poosey?

WHET Michele’s organic vegetable garden? I’m assuming Trump went all Joan Crawford “Christina! Bring me the ax!” on it the first full day in the White House?

What?!

Jill will have it cemented over day 1.

Melania's KLASSY plans for the Rose Garden have leaked.

r12 Is that Michael Jackson holding a Monkey?

The last time the WH did "excavating" it was to install a new bunker. Probably planting missiles.

No, its MJ holding baby Trumpanzee

Tina, get me the axe!

Once the garden of gold plated urchins looking up at a huge gold plated statue of Donald Trump is finished - they will play softly in the background - I Beg Your Pardon, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.

It will be decorated in “Early Belle Watling”.

R12 Christ they are idiots, that Jeff Koons sculpture is porcelain and should not be outside. In 2001 one of them sold at auction for 5.6 million dollars, it most likely ten fold that value now. I really can not believe that they are putting it in the garden, they are déclassé, but that takes the cake. Are they going to hang Warhol’s flowers on the exterior walls as well?

Great idea! Let's redo the famous garden during AUGUST and less than 3 months into their term.

Trump wants to do this so he can have an imprint on all future press conferences and activities from the Rose Garden.

It's just another egomaniacal move. It's like he looks to do things to piss people off.

Jesus, quit being so dramatic and read. It’ll look fine.

‘Melania plans to make the garden more resemble the original design of the site established by President John F. Kennedy, and implemented in 1962 by philanthropist and horticulturist Rachel “Bunny” Mellon, CNN reported.

The project will be supported by the National Park Service and funded by private donations – and should take three weeks to complete, according to The Times.‘

This is Obama Tan Suit histrionics.

“Grow Best!”

“I don’t really weed, do you?”

It's another petty, vindictive, destructive action. He wants to destroy anything that he feels diminishes him.

R21, thanks for that infusion of reason.

R21 - you're gullible. Today's rose garden already follows the design put into place by Bunny Mellon. From Wikipedia:

"The present-day garden follows the same layout first established by Mellon, where each flower bed is planted with a series of 'Katherine' crabapples and Littleleaf lindens bordered by low diamond-shaped hedges of thyme."

THIS is the shit Trump wants: "the plans include improved Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility, utilities, and support for audiovisual and broadcasting needs that will allow for the continued enjoyment of the garden’s natural beauty and storied history."

Trump spends so much time speaking from the Rose Garden he wants to add bigger AV and broadcasting visuals. He wants to change it into a STAGE for him.

Get a clue.

Making room in the garden for this?

R27 okay then fine it’ll have neon signs and golden statues. We’ll just take it down some day.

Plastic rose look nicer in December, yes?

Exactly R27. This garden will end up being a tribute to him. Trumps lie to get their way and then they do what the want. I bet they even try to rename it.

Pussy Smell Good Like Rose: The Melania Trump Garden

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden!

"Arranging the flowers on the Titanic"

Totally inappropriate to do this less than 100 days before an election. Hope Biden gets rid of the "Tennis Pavillion" and all other modifications from these trash people on day 1.

"Tortured-Pet Sematary."

It's guillotine time

He really is desperate to leave a permanent tribute. Hopefully, it is something the Biden's can bulldoze. Do they not realize they really don't have any taste. Say what you want about Jackie Kennedy - but she had incredible taste. No First Lady can touch it and thankfully they all knew it. The Trumps are immature and jealous.

I'm sure the White House Historical people are sobbing as I type.

Relax. I’m sure it will be lovely.

Indeed, r38.

"...'We have our own Jackie O.,' the president said on 'Fox & Friends' last year, referring to the name Mrs. Kennedy took when she remarried. 'It's called Melania, Melania T."'

The New York Times July 27, 2020

I am gud tractor driver, number one in all state fairs. Donald he luf to bathe in my slurry. He no come up smelling of roses.

“It” as in...

“Is it awake yet?”

“I believe it is in the bath.”

It shows you how deeply she's involved in Trump's cuntiness, while seeming to hold herself aloof from it and being the pathetic "prisoner." NEVER underestimate a Slovenian hooker.

I can see it now.

Is the Koons going in the garden or not?

When I opened Twitter, under trending "Melania, Marie Antoinette" was listed.

[quote]The Trumps are immature and jealous.

And stratospherically vulgar. They make Vegas look like Venice.

Katie Rogers's article for today's "The New York Times" serves up a leisurely cup of scalding tea in describing this latest stunt:

"...Over the course of his term, _________ Trump has ushered reporters into the garden in 40-degree weather to rail against Democratic leaders and announce an end to record-length government shutdown. He has hosted gatherings with his fans, who have picked profanity-laced fights with journalists among the roses.

Lately, largely confined to the White House and struggling to respond to the dire economic and public health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Trump has taken to delivering meandering news conferences in 90-degree heat. Aides say he believes the natural lighting favors his complexion."

Guffaw!!

Might I suggest a tribute sculpture for the succulent Vairst Letty?

If this is Vairst Letty's take on "Christmas" (handmaids' bonnets sold separately), I anxiously (literally) await Vairst Letty's take on "presidential power." #BeMessed!

[quote]exemplify the power of the Presidency

Surely you meant "amplify."

Bet you money that before Trump leaves office he re-names it The Melania Trump Rose Garden.

Bet you money that Biden (or whoever is the next president after Trump) switches back the name.

What the fuck has she been doing since January 2017 besides her nails?

At least she's not asking the Joint Chiefs where the missile silos are located.

Why is she asking that? Will she just send that info directly on to Putin?

These vulgar people should not be allowed to change anything in the WH. I also read that Dump already got rid of the portraits of Clinton and Bush and put them into storage. Petty vile little fuck.

I archeetict! I make uglee gardin Best! Now there be stage and strip pole so can shake teeties und azz!

She better skip to it.

We are tinking maybe a paupers' grave. For the peoples who have lost their lives as well as their monies to the awful Chinese flu.

Vee poot lawn jockey for black life matters

I want to ware this very beautiful rose dress today. Ivanka gave to me it. Maybe I ware it or save for more Best day.

I hope the First Twat of the US realizes that her ass will out the door before the first bloom next spring.

Just a few months before the American public kick her out, she decides to do something?

Will the new rose garden include a hooker lamp post on the corner for Melania to flirt with and seduce Jared Kushner and Bill Barr?

R16

Bring. Bring me the axe.

[quote]Just a few months before the American public kick her out, she decides to do something?

Less than too little more than too late. Because they both think they're not transparent from outer space.

Her legacy will be wearing a coat scrawled with, 'I really don't care, do u?' Nothing will now erase that. It'll feature in all her obituaries. Worst 'First Lady' ever.

It sounds like they are building something that will have heat and air conditioning?

Well she is a well know hoe, so she should be good at getting into the dirt.

[quote] What the fuck has she been doing since January 2017 besides her nails?

I focks Donnult. Vlad make me do it. Says Donnult needs fock to relieve stress of commitsing treason. I troe on my cape & rash to White House & give Donnult focky socky den rash back home to Barron, who is my son that I love very much.

If Melania Trump has an office in the WH & an official title given to her by the US govt, isn’t she a member of the govt? Shouldn’t tv & other media be allowed to call her a whore under the 1st Amendment? We can call her husband every name in the book & he can’t sue us. Same with Ivanka.

R69 Isn’t Whore listed as one of her former positions on LinkedIn?

I wouldn’t really care about Melania’s gardening project if she had actually done one thing since she moved into the WH. Why is she pretending to be a busy bee now?

R62: do you really think Melanie will be involved in any of this? No way.

WH says it will return the garden to the original 1962 footprint and add better drainage, healthier conditions for plants and [bold]modern A/V access for TV broadcasts.[/bold]

The centerpiece is the Epstein Grotto.

He’s broadcasting from Rose Garden every day. Why does he need AV access? He’s got it.

The project, which includes electrical upgrades for television appearances, a new walkway and new flowers and shrubs, is meant to be an “act of expressing hope and optimism for the future,” according to remarks Mrs. Trump delivered to the Committee for the Preservation of the White House on Monday morning.

Trump believes the natural lighting favors his complexion.

He just likes the press having to sit out there in the heat - waiting for him to come out and bloviate.

They sound like they don't think they are leaving. I wonder if there will be fountains with Trump in the center as a Roman Emperor or something. That sounds like something Melania would think of.

R71 She from the school of thought: Weak start, strong finish.

So, she does nothing beyond the second letter of the alphabet for three years and now she's gonna dig up an iconic part of the White House.

She's so in on it. She knows it's over. They all do. So she either thinks this will a be legacy or she's throwing the first pitch in the game of vandalism and petty theft on their way out. Why can't she just steal the towels like everybody else?

Where's the gold toilet?

Knowing this POS iron curtain slut, she’ll install a grotto a la the Playboy Mansion, hot tub and putting green. All will be gold plated to match her gold plated Sybian in the corner.

She’ll also install some ATMs and have it wired for Apple Pay capability so her whoring will be more efficient.

Do you think that Melania can close her eyes & successfully blot out Trump’s visage & fat clotted body & pretend she’s fucking some hot guy? You know she’s the top. Even a skank ho like Melania couldnt stomach that sweaty hog grunting over her.

Melanie is getting too old for turning tricks, she's more suited to being a madam these days.

Jackie doesn't need Melania's assistance.

Well that need to have a reason to be digging back there as they hide more of the bodies.

R45 Yes, but of course. It's on loan from Mnuchin Sr. You know he's set many international auction records acquiring Koons.

Today is Jackie Kennedy's birthday. Melania says: Let the bulldozing begin.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Twitter is now calling Melania "Marie Antoinette." Does she even know how that ended?

Here she is wearing the Rose Garden. I'm sorry, but she's ugly.

t is evident that once the Rose Garden is renovated, it will have a different feel to it, with some 200 rose bushes planted in pastel colors. The garden will feel more open and sunnier but perhaps less interesting. It will feel the loss of the crab apple trees, which are full of effervescent blossom in April, decorative fruit in September and a sculptural quality in the winter. They served as a reminder of Washington’s seasonality, and the preciousness of time.

Kennedy also wanted the garden installed in short order, ominously prescient of the brevity of his time there. Right after the Cuban missile crisis, and less than 13 months before his assassination, he famously wrote to Bunny Mellon that “I need not tell you that your garden has been our brightest spot in the somber surroundings of the last few days.”

Ah hah. Now we know what they are really up to,

Now - Trump wants to give his Republican Nomination speech from the White House Lawn!

You can bet that is why the Rose Gard is being totally renovated. This was the plan all along. God knows what they will build. Will it have a throne? What if it rains?

And isn't this against the law? To use the White House for a political cause?

Meh, it's just plants.

This is definitely not best.

"I REALLY DONT CARE..." I assumed this was a sly statement on her husband's infidelity and general venality. Of course she did care and she froze him out for years but I believe Melania wants zero pity and this was her expression of that.

I knew they would do something ordinary. They are destroying our history on purpose. No class Trumps are crapping all over everything! They should have known better. Nobody but nobody is going to outclass or out style, Jackie Kennedy. They look so petty. No charm, no warmth. Could be anywhere. They should put some cement toads in there that represent the Trumps. One fat, one squinting.

I hope Melania receives the second burial in this vapid memorial park setting she's crapped out for her adopted nation.

But she no care do U.

It's okay, but not in comparison. In comparison to what was before the area exudes a stand-offish (complete with concrete path barrier), cold (too white), flat (removed flowering trees), and joyless mien.

And now the Trumps will forever sully Jackie's work and memory by assuring the Rose Garden will be associated with their illegal use of it for political screeds, rants, and lies, aka, Republican Convention speeches.

I hate these vermin in human form and desire their utter destruction. Literally.

Thank you R97. I feel the same way.

Oh, isn't it sweet, aging homoseuals having time to post on DL all they know about the White House. You jut know they must have inside knowledge.

T.D. Do you enjoy being a wet blanket in life?

I like this tweet -

Replying to @FLOTUS and @WhiteHouse You tasteless bitch. You cut down cherry blossom trees and removed tulips and desecrated a truly special place.

I fucking hate you and everything you stand for, you tacky, low rent, wife for hire.

I agree with the commenters here. The garden seems to have been deliberately vandalized out of spite.

I think they are going to give their convention speeches from there. I guess they think they will be cloaked in Kennedy aura.

Oh my. How absolutely dreadful.

Bunny Mellon's Rose Garden was aristocratic and chic. It had that balance between studied and effortlessly casual.

These changes are so cheap, so without culture. She has sucked the life, the history right out of it.

Whatever.

Today the White House had to admit that the renovations of Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden have caused chaos. There is flooding, the plants are dying and the sod that they put right on top of the grass is not taking. They are now renovating the renovations. And the Rose Garden cannot be used.

What a shocker. Because the things this dumpster fire of a presidency does usually work out so well.

Trump's can't get anything right. They gloss over everything and think nobody will notice. They have horrible taste. Trash
