Newly renovated Rose Garden now under repair

Everything they touch...

Newly renovated Rose Garden now under repair
By Kate Bennett, CNN 2 hrs ago


The newly renovated White House Rose Garden is under repair less than three weeks after it's official unveiling. The garden is experiencing "issues with water drainage" and "some minor complications with updated construction," a source with knowledge of the garden troubles told CNN. New sod is also being laid down.

First lady Melania Trump on August 22 hosted a private party to celebrate the redone Rose Garden, which the public was told had been completed after approximately three weeks of renovation.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on when the Rose Garden will be able to properly function.

President Donald Trump on Monday held a news conference on the North Portico, an unusual outdoor location, but the source notes hosting press in seats at the Rose Garden "would not be doable" in the iconic garden's current status. Trump has also had to motorcade to Andrews Air Force Base of late, again preventing media from seeing the construction in the Rose Garden in recent days.

Trump walked through the garden, and the miasma of evil emanating from him killed them.

I don't think she put a single flower in there. It looks like a cemetery. It is so drab. I resent my tax dollars going for yet another Trump eyesore.

That one picture of them with the youngest Trump with all the gold in the room? Did you ever think gold could be mismatched and made to look bad like that before? I never would have thought anyone could make gold look cheap and tacky, but leave it to the Trumps. That should be their reality show after we finally get them out of our government. Leave It To The Trumps, where they take something beautiful and find a way to make it look tacky, gaudy, crappy, and cheap looking. Hopefully, they can film it from prison.

It's horrible now. It's official. The Trumps ruin everything they touch.

everything? Truly?

From the beginning I've said his goal is to take a dump on the Resolute. He should just do it and get it over with.

Never despised anyone (and supporters) like this. Hard to stomach this amount of hate in my system!

Break it.

I hope we don't have to rebuild the White House when they're finally done tainting it.

certainly fumigate it. Maybe Kamala will have the stench of sulfur gone by the time she gets elected after Joe's term. Joe just may have to live with it.

16. I have honestly been wondering if we will ever get the Trump stank

out of the people's house. You know they have turned every crack and crevice, every nook and cranny, into something gaudy and tacky and tasteless. Just Trump stank everywhere. I hope we can undo his nasty somehow. Wherever his sons are living, we might ought to have a chemical expert go in there to cleanse it to protect any future occupants from accidental poisoning from cocaine.
