President Donald Trump is utilizing the White Home garden to mix two of his favourite hobbies: erasing historical past and deforestation.
Trump is eradicating a historic tree on the South Garden planted by late President Andrew Jackson almost two centuries in the past.
“The bad news is that everything must come to an end, and this tree is in terrible condition, a very dangerous safety hazard, at the White House Entrance, no less, and must now be removed,” Trump wrote Sunday by way of Reality Social.
He added that the tree can be minimize down subsequent week and changed by “another very beautiful tree.”
On the intense aspect, Trump will reportedly have the wooden preserved and repurposed, writing that it “could also be used for different excessive and noble functions!!!”
It’s unclear what functions the president has in thoughts, provided that he has already made some controversial adjustments to the White Home since beginning his second time period.
If we have been to guess which “noble” functions Trump is leaning towards, he may very well be desirous about a few his current tasks.
He might all the time reuse Jackson’s southern magnolia as a new body for his mugshot within the hallway of the White Home. Eagle-eyed reporters caught glimpses of mugshot not lengthy after Trump took workplace, and for now, it’s ornate with gold.
Or he might use it as decor round his copy of the Declaration of Independence, which hangs on a wall within the Oval Workplace behind a curtain. (How’s that for on the nostril?)
Or if dwelling out his knockoff of “National Treasure” doesn’t work out, he might use the wooden on the dance ground he intends to place over the grass of the Rose Backyard. Insiders instructed The New York Instances in February that Trump and his spouse, Melania, intend to pave over the grass within the Rose Backyard to imitate their marble-slabbed surfaces at Mar-a-Lago.
