On July 9, I shared my feelings about Trump's Update to the Rose Garden. The picture included in this post is now the new look.
In a March interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump explained that the renovation was needed because the grass "just didn't work"
Personally, I find the new Rose Garden—with its rows of chairs and tables spread across the entire “patio”—more reminiscent of a poolside resort or an outdoor restaurant than a space meant for diplomacy and elegance. While that setup might be perfectly suited for Mar-a-Lago or a beachfront brunch, it feels out of place in a setting meant to represent the dignity and beauty of the United States. Hosting foreign dignitaries, celebrities, and ceremonial events deserves a backdrop that reflects grace, history, and intention—not something that looks borrowed from a hotel terrace. It "just doesn't work" for me.
I am curious what your feelings are about this update. Please leave comments.
