It was much more attractive before Melania messed with it. The current arrangement is very sterile, lacking in colour and variety. It was a huge mistake to remove those two gorgeous trees!

Trump has used the Rose Garden setting for many of his press conferences/campaign speeches. Melania is planning on using that setting for her GOP Convention speech extolling the virtues of her husband. Snark! Snark! The new concrete walkways are used to cover conduits carrying cables for expanded audio and visual technology. The Rose Garden was built under the Kennedy administration... a Democratic President. It had never had a substantial revamping until now. Presidents had effected spruce ups and many had enjoyed spending time appreciating the beauty and solace of the Garden. The beautiful colors and blooming trees took away from Trump being the "centerpiece" of the Garden when he used it for his campaign rallies. Melania was jealous that the beauty of the garden might allow the perception that for all her plastic surgery she was not the most beautiful spectacle when she spoke for the convention. Next Spring, Biden needs to have a farmer bring in a John Deere tractor and be filmed plowing up the Garden as big screen televisions in the background show Trump being led into a courtroom in handcuffs.

The new view opens thing up.
It so much to ado about nothing.
No big deal, look what Ms Obama did putting in a garden with raised beds..what did that cost, but Ms Obama was fast and louse with taxpayers money. Is the garden still there? If so what is it costing us taxpayers?

"On March 20, 2009 Michelle Obama broke ground on the largest and most expansive vegetable garden to date on the White House lawn. The current garden is funded by a $2.5-million donation provided in 2016 by Burpee Seeds and The Burpee Foundation."

If so what is it costing us taxpayers? Former First Lady Obama used the vegetable garden to teach the benefits of healthy eating. There is no means of tracking how many across the nation are healthier today, due to that campaign. As another poster pointed out, the cost of the vegetable garden was covered by donated funds... as is Melania's removal of a historic part of the 'People's House' that had been seen by millions of folks from all walks of life and all corners of the world. Why someone would remove the beauty of the trees and flowers merely to have something with their name on it is just further exemplification similar to the coat she wore... "I don't really care, do you?" Oh. I would like some proof of Former First Lady Obama's being "fast and loose with taxpayers money". Let's compare the cost of the Obama's personal use of taxpayer dollars vs. the cost of Trump and his entire family's vacations, golf weekends, etc. I do believe, if you respond with factual data, the Obama's "looseness" with taxpayer funds is minimal compared to the Trump clan.

Unfounded attacks are what we have come to expect from oldmontana.
Using the White House as Campaign prop. Is unethical, I would expect no less from a tramp. The tramp's campaign should pay for the space for the time it is being used, as a campaign prop.

When I saw an aerial view of the new garden, which is very formal, it reminded me of the formal gardens at the Palace of Versailles but on a much smaller scale. I suspect that this is what was intended.

But why? It was a part of our history the way it was. Why copy a plan from a foreign country?
We've got to get them OUT of the White House.

When you have no argument, when you know you are wrong, just make things up and lie. When your lies are pointed out go silent.
That's the repubs play book. From the ghoul in the WH to posters on a chat room.

Oh. I would like some proof of Former First Lady Obama's being "fast and loose with taxpayers money" ================================================= Thanks for asking. I will give you two examples. Did you forget about her trip to Europe with her friends at taxpayers expense? Did you forget when the Obama's were going for their yearly long Christmas vacation to Hawaii and President had to work a day longer than planed Ms Obama had a government plan take her ... at taxpayers expense ...could not wait one day to go on AF One. No reason why she could not wait one day was explained. The Trump's travels is another thing and if you want to start a thread on that subject go for it.

Without knowing what was going on at the time, I can't comment on what sounds like FOX news spin.

Site not found. If true that is bad but changing the subject does not change what Ms Obama did.
