- Donald Trump has claimed he is receiving "great reviews" for his makeover of the White House Rose Garden, which involved replacing the lawn with a stone patio.
- He justified the redesign, saying “we had to do it” as the previous grass area was often wet and muddy, making it unsuitable for its intended purpose.
- The new patio features white stone, described as matching the White House and designed to reflect heat.
- Despite Trump's positive assessment, social media users widely criticised the redesign, likening it to a "parking lot" or "concrete jungle" and "devoid of life".
- The historic Rose Garden, opened in 1913 and enhanced by Jackie Kennedy, now features a layout that pushes its signature rose bushes to the periphery, reminiscent of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property.
