. Federal rules prohibit the White House from being the setting for expressly political events, a regulation that many presidents have flirted with violating.But the Trump family will be the first to use the executive mansion for a political convention. Beyond the first lady’s address, President Donald Trump will deliver his speech Thursday night from the White House’s South Lawn, where a stage was being constructed over the weekend.
Moreover, a seating area on the east side of the garden — used at times by presidents for lunch and other meetings — has been removed and will be replaced by a yet-to-be-announced art installation.Drew Angerer / Getty Images
👀 like a golf course
theyre spending all this tax payers money on the rose garden and for his reelection campaign, but there is no stimulas for the american people, whats wrong with this picture
This is NBC:
Why now? Was done as prep for GOP convention.
Spruced up. 🤔
Garbage.
The Rose Garden was not “Spruced-up.” It was the opposite of that.
From beauty to bland in only 3 weeks. A record. A tRump destruction project usually takes as long as a single tweet. 🌊🙏💙☮️
Everything the trumps touch they ruin.
Melania gardening tools.
I don't think you're using the term 'spruced up' correctly.
Shocking waste of money for a bland result. Zero creativity that does not enhance the space.
'spruced up'? It lacks character, uniqueness and beauty.
It's NOT 'spruced up'; FLOTUS trashed the Rose Garden... The sooner 'journalists' start calling a thing a thing the sooner this nightmare will end... Your job is to report the NEWS, not to get ratings... The push for ratings over actual news is a huge part f the problem...
still trying to be nice to Trump voters I see
Kamala and Biden has a great interview last night and your are showcasing this? They talk policy you talk crap about a garden
Big deal
Fact check: It looked better before. They cut down the beautiful trees which provided shade and wasted taxpayers money during a pandemic. The White House garden was originally designed by Jackie Kennedy.
Trump was pissed off about removing racist monuments so he destroyed beautiful living cherry trees, planted by Mrs Kennedy as monument to JFK to install this soviet chic nightmare ala 1962.
They need some color up in there. So ugly
Why? The wastefulness is staggering.
From Jackie O to trashy ho
She ruined the Rosegarden. And if she makes her speech there, she should be arrested for doing a speech on a federal building during the campaign!! Then again William bar is in charge of the AG he Will not do it!
It looks very neat too.
Spruced up?
Ho’s garden.
The rose garden under Trump has been bled white. It now matches what he has done to American democracy.
It looks extremely bland ...
Looks like a funeral home
The rose garden in now a bowling green.
Everyone hates how bland and boring it looks.
It was and is a weak ass garden.
realDonaldTrump the crab-apple tress were in remembrance to President Kennedy, the roses and flowers were planted by first ladies going back almost if not 100 years....get the TRASH OUT of the PEOPLES HOUSE
This is no renovation, this is more like someone with bad taste and no soul.
March 1 – 1 Dead April 1 – 6,460 Dead May 1 – 67,044 Dead June 1 – 109,509 Dead July 1 - 131,013 Dead Aug 1 - 156,764 Dead Aug 24 - 179,392 Dead
She has a sidewalk for her stilettos
If it was done in the 'spirit' of, then it should have been left alone!!!! That would have been in the spirit of Jackie-O! Damn concrete walkways when there are walkways on the other side of the bushes! Redundant and UGLY.
From Jackie Kennedy, the colors of diversity, the people's house, to a cemetery.
Looks like shit
.flotus has ruined Jackie Kennedy’s beautiful garden by tearing down the cherry blossom trees. A last act of vandalism.
🎶.'I don't know, maybe it was the roses..'🎶 (G.Dead) Bland, grossly uncreative, melamonia didn't want the color of former garden to distract from her own 'splendor in the grass' when she slinks out to give her speech, we now know who really 'chopped down the cherry trees'
Don't you mean done in the spirit of Gorky Park?
Spruced up, means better looking. This is what happens when you pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
180,291 dead Americans.
Another suburban backyard; pedestrian boring nondescript…and as unattractive spiritually as the woman who insisted on tearing up a national treasure…now all it needs is the finishing touch… a sign announcing the criminal ‘TRUMP PEDESTRIAN GARDEN’
Is there such a thing as 'spruced down'?
I am beginning to think the tweeter for is a tRump fan.
Trump in a nutshell: Turning back the clock to before the civil rights movement.
'Clear-cutting'. A Republican specialty.
What garden?
If it was “...done in the spirit of its original 1962 design...” it should’ve have been left the f*ck alone. Everything this ENTIRE administration has done or touched, has destroyed America.
More like flattened out.
“Spruced up” More like blanded to death.
It turned out horrible, like everything else Trump and his family touches.
Don’t forget the all around the garden sidewalk for those who cannot navigate the grass🤷🏼♀️
A “spruced-up” rose garden with now barely any roses. Another thing the Trump family has managed to ruin.
Tasteless.
Super awesome! 170,000+ dead from COVID, but yay for the soft porn First Lady and her weird decorating skills
You repeating this crappy headline doesn’t make it any less true that Melanie ruined the garden. The end. Move on.
Again, totally disgraceful to use the White House as the backdrop for the campaign. They are temporary occupants. This is most unseemly. And she turned thevfarden into a mausoleum.
No colors! Where r the colors? Looks like a cemetery imho
Trash 🗑
what a speech that will be....'ummm im illegally here on an einstein visa and i don't love America i want to help donny give the land to Mudder Russia!:..melania's speech.
$60 million for this?
This is what the WH does during a global pandemic. priorities
I’d choose “new” over “spruced-up.”
They destroyed the country AND the rose garden. Sad.
Spruced down, that is.
It's crappy looking.
Can we just replay Michelle Obamas speech but not include the Rick Rolls like she did in the last speech. Rotflmao It was such an incredible speech...Michelle's that is.
She had all of the trees cut down
No thank you.
This garden is ssoooo boring...
It's disgusting.
Yes, let's restore the White House to 1962. Before all that Civil Rights stuff.
Spruced up with kkk bushes spelling their secret in rows.
Get it all beautiful for the new President and First Lady!!!
And all the reporters did was TRASH it online. They have no idea about plants or history.
Classy and beautiful
It’s dark and depressing, just like the Trumps.
I love you, NBC News. I’ve been a faithful viewer since 1982, but if you don’t change this headline, I swear I’m gonna pitch a fit. It’s not spruced up, it’s redone, and badly at that. Context!!!
Gross.
😡😡😡We should of been alowed to vote on that...we paid for it! Some of us know about old gardens😡😡😡
Bravo to the first lady.
Wow is that a cemetery? 😡😡😡😡
Oh so the design is not original it is a deign from 1962. Well I guess that made it easy for the First Lady. All she had to do was show him a picture. Maybe she thinks she will be leaving soon and coping a previous design was a lot less work and energy on her part.
The new bushes look insufficient to be able hide Sean Spicer should he ever return to the WH.
Ask jairbolsonaro why his wife received 89 thousand reais from Queiroz
Looks like shit
🤡
I am in shock. Oh well consider the source. Jill will return to glory.
The hate in the USA is troublesome. Is the Rose Garden an important project at this time?
Destroyed more beautiful areas of the land. She is a beautiful lady. I don't understand why she would not surround herself with beauty. It's depressing.
A Look at the History of the White House Rose Garden and Melania Trump's Renovations. How the iconic presidential garden has evolved over the years since 1913 to become a place of power.
🤮
The spirit of? Nope. It was one more vanity project by FLOTUS while people die. She shit all over a beautiful memorial garden dedicated to a wonderful President because she didn’t want her heels sinking in the grass.
Bulldozed. Flattened. Paved. She came in like a wrecking ball.
YAH I be better at the Inglish now, I taken Inglish lessons for nearing 4 years I be besting it besties
Looks BLAAAAAH! Would not win any prizes in home and garden!
“Spruced up”? Are we talking about the same White House rose garden?
It looks like the country they want, white and bleak.
People’s poor reactions to this shows just what 🤡they are. It’s a freakin garden at a house that you don’t live, nor have access to. These are probably the same people who ripped on people upset about statues. Such drama over something so meaningless
trashpeople
As soon as she’s gone they should rip it out every last bit of it. Sell it to her damn supporters they’ll probably pay hundreds for the bushes. Put in something with some creativity and imagination unlike that bitch
Even tell me it only took 3 weeks to completely ruin 107 years of first lady/rose garden history?!?!?! Good God💔💔💔
When that whore leaves the White House, rip it up and put it back like it was.
“Spruced up?” They razed it.
She removed 10 heirloom crab apple trees, ripped out 'Peace' roses, and planted a ton of boxwood, which is a shrub that smells exactly like cat piss. It's the wrong time of year to move or plant trees & perennials. The grass is an ugly monoculture, likely to die in the heat.
Fugly
When asked about the design for the new Rose Garden Melania Trump reportedly replied, 'It reminds me of Leningrad in the Summer.'
It wasn't work it was a demolition. I have no doubt it was probably done out of spite because Melania Trump has no taste nor class.
Because this was important as opposed to other things happening in this country?
Simple planting palette looks okay, too much evergreen stuff but does fit the weather out in DC. Layout from above looks poorly installed with no attention to detail.
“Spruced-up?” Not hardly.
Vote.
She ruined it.
I think her speech for the Convention was the main purpose of the renovation. She’s quoted as saying it updates & makes tv access, sound, & lighting better for pressers.
Nice
Looks good
It's downright ugly. Its looks like a cemetery. RoseGardenMassacre
It's like communist sculptures
Heard it removed a ramp and made the path more gradual -- we know how much trouble Trump has with ramps.
Nice choice of words, 'spirit' of the original design. Hopefully, the next administration can put back three crabapple trees in the two long beds as Bunny Mellon suggested. And ensure the rest of the design can stand the test of time. Three works, that's just insane.

It’s beautiful 👌🏻
It’s not spruced up. It’s cold and devoid of character.
Its unremarkableness is stunning. It looks like the outside of a suburban corporate office.
Bland and emotionless...suits her.
Looks horrible!!! Like a walkway at your local cemetery!!
How much of that is going to survive and need to be redone in the spring? You don't plant grass and roses in late summer.
She plagiarized the garden style too, if realDonaldTrump wins the election, is this where where they'll have the beheadings?
'Spruced-up'? Is that another way of saying ruined? Or do you mean more spruce trees were planted? RoseGardenMassacre
Spruced up ?
They destroyed the work of centuries. Why do you not tell it like it is?
Great use of taxpayer dollars
How can NBC News possibly call what she did to this garden 'spruced up'. She turned a beautiful tribute to JFK into a drab, boring Russian park. Shame on you. And don't reply with 'the trees are old' bullshit either.
What dumb ass took out the cherry trees in DC?!
Spirit of its original design of '62... Meaning 'Pre-Civil Rights Era'.
It's so breathtakingly plain that my mind is immediately taken away from the fact that the country is on fire.
Where are the roses? This looks like the front entrance of a Sheraton.
It looks like it was hastily thrown together for the RNC.
Wow. More like she made it look trashy. Removed everything thst was beautiful.
Ugly
Hmmm nice that FED can tax all the states but not provide sh*t in the return. But hey, they can play army.
Thanks for destroying the past historic additions to the Rose Garden, Mellie.
CNN and others should not air the illegal convention at our WH
MelaniaTrump removed the trees from the WH Rose Garden. Who needs trees? She and DonaldTrump get plenty of shade from everywhere.
Looks horrible. All the beautiful colored roses 🥀 and trees 🌳 are gone. They were historical. Who removes trees. When is she ever in the garden anyhow? Looks more like a prison yard now.
Total crap! Melania took the Rose 🌹 out of Rose 🌹 Garden. Remember FLOTUS ghastly Christmas ornamentation?
Jackei=Class Melania=Classless
Melania took what was colorful and full of life and murdered it. Kudos.
Horse Manure!
She ripped out Jackie Kennedy's crabapple trees, but tell us more about how it was done in the 1962 design spirit.
Spruced up lol
Spruced up? It looks sterile and has no life.
Mostly white and colorless, like Trump would like America to be
I’m definitely unimpressed.
the fuck is this
Shit. Total soul-less shit like the occupants. Get rid of them.
Is this really something all of you need to complain about? What a bunch of ignorant twits. Get a job. You obviously need something constructive to do.
Unfortunately it takes plenty of sunshine for plants to thrive, something that’s absent from the WhiteHouse
Meaning... pre-civil rights era?
At least she didn't have to gas protesters to do it.
😢
you mean destroyed the spirit of
Horrible and tasteless..... like Melania
How much did it cost tax payers
How can they only charge $89 a night if it costs 12 million for landscaping at every Hampton Inn?
Is that a Sheraton?
Why exactly did she think she needed to do this. Bored? Looks stark to me!
Looks horrible. Looks dead, uninviting, cold...... just like the people in the White House.
'In the spirit?' Please explain...
It looks like shit. She ruined it.
In the words of the designer hired by President Kennedy 1962 (Jaqueline wasn’t involved it seems in the Rose Garden. The east end garden is named after her though.)
Looks like 💩. The Trumps ruin everything. dumptrump2020
This is not spruced up. She erased a beautiful scene and also a tribute to President Kennedy. How horrible
PRETTY DULL.......... WHERE'S THE COLOR?
It looks terrible. I wish it had never been touched
Ugly like FLOTUS
That family destroys everything it touches
Did she break any fingernails?
Dumb ass people. It's called the Rose Garden....doesn't mean that is the only flower that is allowed. Boring...just like Melania.
It looks beautiful and so modern. I love it - great job WhiteHouse to Melania
Resembles a hanger when looking at it from atop. Very dull and boring. Loved original best.
So she spent how much taxpayer money to create a space for her speech? Such a very trump thing to 3
I don't see nary a spruce? 🧐
Not very pretty.
I don't care. Do you?
COLD, TACKY, TERRIBLE, UGLY
Devoid. Just like Melania.
She took the trees down! Are they looking for resale value?
Liberals: Kneeling during the national anthem is not disrespecting the flag. Same liberals: Melania is a monster for changing the garden! The horror! Same people folks.
Sorry it's ugly has no color sort of boring.
Dear NBC...you call this spruced up? Most of America calls it decimated.
The ugly comments represent the polarized atmosphere very well. I despise the 2-party system. I’ll vote for Trump. Not because I like him, but because I like the opposition even less.
That people are really this upset over a f*cking garden tells you how small and petty they are. Garbage humans being needlessly upset over things that don’t f*cking matter.
Spruced up? Puuulease... More like Fvck up!
The design, muted colors are not very inspiring. The USA had a vibrancy as did the Rose Garden previous to this administration.
I like the limestone walk way but do miss the colorful palette.
is an arm of Fox! They lie just like fox!
That's the people's garden, not Melania's. You should of left your hands off of it.
I love the new rose garden! It has “roses” and is very clean. The before garden was also pretty and colorful yet I love change and the new look fits really well on the WH grounds! Beautiful!
170,000 americans dead PRIORITIES
Spruced up? Yeah no. And she ripped out the crab apple trees. You don’t mess with anything Jackie touched.
Pretty sad looking. Sterilized, and tasteless, just like the first lady. No substance, bland. Jackie O she is not.
These comments are hilarious, people really like to bitch for the sake bitching.
Classy just lit its occupants l
Only one phrase comes to mind: devoid of personality. RoseGardenFail
Soon
Bullshit.
Does the Rosegarden have any roses?
Um, it looks horrible. WTF?
She's ruined the rose garden ....😠
First with all the deaths, unrest, etc they thought redoing the garden was top priority? And she plans to talk about the garden at the RNC. Smh
Jacky Kennedy undone.
In other words, that awful woman ruined the Rose Garden.
Love to hear MarthaStewart's opinion. I don't think it's a BeBest thing FLOTUS.
Bare and lifeless, just like her.
That isn't spruced up, its destruction of the rose garden. And its bland.
Ruined. What would you expect
Apple trees are a symbol of wisdom and honesty. Multicolored roses represent the nation's diversity. Melania: 'So, rip them out. And, oh yeah, more concrete, too' MelaniaRuinsEverything MelaniaRuinedTheRoseGarden MelaniaAntoinette melaniaiscomplicit
Psych ward chic. Very on brand
Trump ambles by and it all dies.
Perfect and Beautiful
What every American needs to see
This 'Garden' looks as NAKED as Melania's soft porn photos...
Gotta love twitter. One of the few places we can go to see full grown adults arguing over gardens.
And people are already saying it is racist
When the flowers bloom, it will be beautiful!
Horrid
Why am I not surprised that she removed all color uglygarden
I don’t care. Not watching.
It’s awesome. Gets rid of all those Kennedy influences..about time.
That desecration was definitely not done in the spirit of the 1962 design.
🤮
“Spruced up” — my ass.
Hey.... if you still need a website design...plz DM me. I would love to do that. I'm a professional Front-end web developer. I will show you my past work and portfolio.
There was nothing wrong with Jackie's Rose Garden! This should have been left alone.
Jackie Kennedy was a joke. No wonder JFK had so many girlfriends.
Spruced up? Be Best? SprucedUpMyAss BeBest BeBestMyAss
Tree murderess
I can’t get over the cutting of the trees. Sad. Not an improvement
Spruced up is an interesting way to describe the Rose Garden's whitewashing
“Spruced up” ? Seriously NBC? How is this “spruced up” in any way, shape or form? I guess at this point we should just be thankful she didn’t spray paint the whole thing gold and slap a giant Trump logo on it.
This takes 'let them eat cake' to a new low. Look at my dirt.
If by spruced up you mean prison yardy...
Spruced up? This is barren and gross! I hate it! She took out the trees and all color. She ruined it. Notice how the bushes spell out kkk?
Well, they aren’t getting their security deposit back.
Destroying the original 1962 design you mean.
I’m so glad the Obama’s didn’t redo this garden as they would have certaintly employed illegal Mexican rapists to do it
BORING
Surprised they didn't just spray everything gold
Here is Mellon’s beautiful watercolor of ‘62 design. (JFK said “lose the tent” but loved the rest) Removing 12, decades old crabapple trees (the ‘frame’ of the garden) is in NO way honoring the spirit of the original design. It destroys it. (Should’ve at least *moved the trees)
Live footage of Melania.
A typical eastern European design, void of any color or character. Jackie Kennedy installed that garden and it survived 60 years, until some foreigner decided to wipe it out. FLOTUS NOT MY FLOTUS, just another former Soviet nude model. WTF FLOTUS
HORRIFIC! HORRIBLE!
Spruced up? Is that a euphemism for hideous?
NBC don’t you think “spruced up” is a particularly gross, insensitive headline for a remodel that cut down trees?
ngl, this looks like garbage. Good thing I don't live there.
It has all the charm of a Sheraton conference center
Spruced up? No - colorless shade-less cold and concrete hostile compared to the radiance of color and seasonal designs it showcased before assaulted by Melania
Trump now has a place to work on his short game. Putting green next week?
now it looks like a graveyard.
That’s a lie
'Bland'.
I’m sure it’s beautiful but I already see the haters complaining. Such a shame that there is so much jealousy and hate if our beautiful First Lady FLOTUS God bless her for putting up with all the *itches
Shame on you for falling for the chance to be cutesy-cliché with the pun “Spruced-Up” when it’s completely used wrong. Means improved, looks better. Obvious it doesn’t. Whole article is mouthing WH propaganda with no analysis or thought. Shame on you.
Bland and empty...yup should represent her well...
I like a First Lady who cares about more than gardens...[and who doesn’t do porn] VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare and VoteBlueSaveAmerica
Looks like a community college garden or the back of a Marriot
How dare she touch that garden. That's American history she just destroyed.
Maybe former prostitutes shouldnt make landscaping decisions? No offense sex workers, but decor is usually not in your wheelhouse.
The new design now has a sense of the message: I really don't care, do you?
I kinda like it LOL
The new garden looks worse. It's nothing but white. She removed the color and the trees. Kinda apropos for a president who hates all color except white.
The importance of upkeep... is easily seen❣️
Bringing it back to the 1962 Garden was a horrible mistake. The garden has been worked on through the decades to become beautiful now it's nothing more than an empty shell. Some of those rose bushes we're from the early nineteen hundreds and are all gone right now. 😡😞😭😩😖
It looks drab , bland and boring......
A total disgrace...smh
MELANIA SLASHES AND BURNS WHITEHOUSE GROUNDS
Beautiful!
Now how about the first lady work on trafficking, drugs, and more important things, in the spirit of the people
FLOTUS lame
Looks like an overflow cemetery to handle the rising body count Trump ushered in.
I hope a pack of wild Karen’s shows up to scream for her to go back where she came from. Wishes
And here we see footage of Melania at work
OehmevanSweden explain

I don’t see any spruce.
I don’t really care. Do you?
You people are weak and absolutely nuts. Sitting there whining about a garden at the White House. Do you live there? You don’t. But Trump sure does live in your head. You all live just to complain about petty things EVERYDAY now.
This is 'big news' at NBC.
How is it spruced up ? It looks dead. She removed all the warmth and beauty of the Rose Garden. It now looks like a cemetery, and the WH, a mausoleum. ETTD
Everything they touch dies even the trees 🌲 and flowers 🌺. The destroyers.
It’s awful.
WTAF, ?!?!?! ' ... in the spirit of its original 1962 design, ... ' ?!?!?! Shameful headline!!! What the hell is wrong with y'all?! BeBest RoseGardenMassacre MelaniaRuinsEverything TrumpCrimeFamily
Asinine description.
This is not something to be celebrated. She destroyed a beautiful garden for her own vanity so she can click around in her high heels.
trump so-called making america great by taking rose garden back pre civil rights era, symbolically, while literally eroding many advances
Barf
Planted with the JFK Rose. Good choice a Democratic rose.
Graveyard. Figures.
Trees are gone
Well that was a waste of time and energy
Is she colorblind or does she just hate beautiful gardens.. That looks more like a cheap golf course practice fairway.
It’s UGLY AF!!!
Guess she doesn’t care that they only temporary occupant of White House it’s the people House and hopefully they will have move out January.
How much did this cost? We’re having a crisis in our country and she’s spending money we don’t have How about feeding hungry people WTH
Where is this new Rose garden? Oh that’s it? Naked and uninteresting just like the First Lady
Spruced up Really How about the exact opposite 🙄
I would be willing to see the garden, I am afraid I am not positive about the speech. I don’t know why she could be trusted to hold a speech. melaniaruinseverything
“SPRUCED UP”? Hmm 🤔 are we looking at the same photo, because this monstrosity resembles a mausoleum! It went from colorful & vibrant to..... this.
😹 I think remaking something to look like it’s from the 60’s is appropriate since we seem to be reliving the 60’s. CivilRights CivilRightsmovement BlackLivesMatter PeacefulProtest marchonwashington vote vote2020
Are you chumps or is there a greater ideal at work here? Melania undoes Jackie's Rose Garden and turns it in to THIS? And you refer to it as 'spruced up?'
Ya it fucking sucks
I beg your pardon I don’t give a shit about the rose garden when people are dying of Covid 19!
Just like her an empty shell with no grace.
Flotus has been living in the Concrete Jungle most of her life. She would no zero about irrigation, etc. 🆖
Spruced-up? Totally ruined would be a better description. It’s ugly & all the colour & warmth is gone.
Just looks like a before picture
Am I color blind, or is this mostly white? Not very creative.
Was it done for her convention speech?
It looks like crap
This is the focus of Americans. coronavirus
Lovely
Those suburban housewives love that she ripped-up Jackie O’s garden, let me tell ya.
Peacock's got a brown spot on its nose.
What - no cake? The fucking nerve. 170,000 dead Americans give a fuck about the rose garden- which looks like shot now tbh.
Melania wants so badly to have the public admiration that Jackie O. had.....unfortunately for her, that will never happen. We are not in Camelot; we're in purgatory......
Disgusting
It's metaphoric how they wanted to remove all the color from it....
Spruced down😩
Cold & dull .
Are you kidding?!?!? 3 weeks in which the majority of the work was to rip out iconic trees and anything that could accurately be termed a garden & left in its place a grass rectangle w/ some business park landscaping. Basically the opposite of the spirit of its original design.
Such creative use of sod and seed. It almost looks like a well tended suburban lawn.
If she knew the spirit of 1962, she would have left it alone. It had class & color. This...I don’t even know what this is. A wild flowered field has more charm.
Such opulence in a time of dire need for the nation, who really gives a crap about the Rose garden. Money poorly spent 🤨 If they don’t have bread let them eat cake!
SHAME on you NBC for attempting to glorify the profaning & destruction of OUR House’s formerly gorgeous HISTORIC Gardens.
Its not 'spruced up.' Its destroyed.
Boxwoods under snow ... we had ours removed as they don’t do well with all the weight. Mark my words - those suckers won’t last. Poor choice if you ask me.
The “redesign”. Just say that. It’s the truth. “Spruced up” is a bold face lie.
Wasting money on a garden during a pandemic is wrong.
So how much did that cost the taxpayers?
It's nothing like the original rose garden! Where are all the trees and flowers?
When see from above, prominently features KKK. Way to go FLOTUS.
JFK 1962.
Lifeless and soulless, very on brand for the Trump family.
Was/were?
UGLY...DEAD & BOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!! 🤮🤮🤮
It looks horrid. Where are the beautiful colorful roses it once had. Such a shameful destruction of history and pride. Our beautiful rose garden just gone!
Well done and much needed. Last time we were in there the grass and flowers were dying due to the overgrown trees not to mention a plumbing issue. It turned out beautiful and if you read the article they are going to reuse the trees.
EPIC FAIL.
She destroyed it, just like the Trumps have destroyed our country. She liberally paved paradise. ETTD
170,000 Americans are dead and more are still dying from Covid.
The right to destroy our gardens should be limited to natural born citizens.
She has absolutely decimated that garden who told her its ok mmmm hubby dearest well it's not ok and from Jacqui Kennedy F U Melania take the responsibility it was Americana the rose garden and YOU went and destroyed it 😠
Spruced up? She destroyed it! She turned a historic landmark into the back of a mall
Looks like shiz!!!!!
It’s ugly
Wow, that’s amazing!!! Took flotus just 3 weeks to transform a nice colorful garden into the most lifeless looking patch of grass on the planet. Impressive.
Looks like crap
Absolutly NOT!
It’s a miserable failure, but it certainly is White.
Disgusting!
What a pleasant Cemetery
'in the spirit of the 1962 design'. SHE RIPPED OUT THE KENNEDY CHERRY TREES.
And how much did it cost to destroy trees almost 60 years old planted by historical figures who left an impact in 🇺🇸 & world?!? JFk JackieKennedy deserve better. Bet you the bill is 25 millions for this cemetery plot with gazebo that will disappear into someone’s pockets.
Our tax dollars paid for this. Shouldn’t we get a say regarding any “renovations?”
Nice outside ugly people inside.
Michelle did a better job!
No wonder he had the funeral at the WH; it looks like a funeral home. It has a eerie look about it; plain, no color. Better yet it looks like dry white toast
She used tax dollars to rip out Jackie’s roses so she could illegally give a political speech there?
Is 'spruced down' a thing?
💩💩💩💩💩💩👎👎👎👎
All this says to me is I want to go back to 1962 because I’m a racist🤦🏻♂️🤣
In the spirit of its original design? Are you blind?
Spruced up? Did the Onion take over this account?
NBC, it's a rose garden, not a rose garden choked by bushes. No informed gardener plants more bushes than rose bushes in a rose garden. We got robbed.
Who writes this crap? When did “spruced up” start meaning decimated?
What the hell? No one who had RED Christmas trees should be allowed to redesign anything in or around the White House. Where are the roses? No color, no trees, no taste.
What did it look like before?
I cannot believe a FOREIGNER destroyed what Jackie O made as a monument to her husband
TOTAL WASTE! PEOPLE ARE DYING!
It's 2020, wake up in the future!
Well.. let’s see if he can bankrupt a mortuary too.
Your headline shows that you are a non-serious news outlet.
Looked horrible! They removed trees big deal!
You cannot say it was in spirit of 1962 original when IT KILLED THE GROWTH OF THE 1962 ORIGINAL, and they POURED CONCRETE in OUR Rose Garden. FUBAR!
Removing all the color. Why am I not surprised?
Start and ugly. The interlopers have ruined it.
Why are they so determined to live in the past? And why do we have to go with them?
Hot mess on fire.
This is what you came up with . Jackie Kennedy tribute to JFK was just demolished by A russian Hooker . Everything the Trumps touch not only dies but become Anti American and against True Americans past and present . When trumps gone NBC IS GONE
That shit looks like trash.
It looks like a dam bland color DrBiden please repair this mess
Don't you guys have more important things to report about? 'The GOP is killing democracy, but let's make an issue out of a bloody garden, because thát's what the US need right now' Ffs🙄
The design is amazing👌
It was better before lacks color actually its ugly
She ruined it and used taxpayer dollars to do it.
You must all know it is a Trump grift. Donations for garden renovations get split between Trump family and real work.
Not spruced up! History and beauty removed
Lady Bird, Pat, Betty, RosaIind, Nancy, Barbara, HiIIary, Laura and MicheIIe thought it was FINE! PUT JACKIE'S GARDEN BACK!! HOW DARE SHE?!?!?
Cementary, they are always projecting.
That is not the finished photo. This is an artist rendering of what it will look like when it's done.
Nancy Reagan - “Just say no” Laura Bush - “Ready to Read, Ready to Learn” Rosalynn Carter - Dedicated to mental health Michelle Obama -childhood obesity, veterans’ wellness, and education for young women. Melania Trump - Spruced up Rose Garden, First Lady to be seen naked
It’s ugly.
Hmmmm.....and here I thought she would give her speech where she's most comfortable....silly me.
It looks like a cemetery. I guess this is where they plan to bury Democracy.
She has turned a beautiful garden into a bland piece of crap.
This thread is a hilarious display of TDS.
Thirty thousand Americans died from COVID-19 in the 3 weeks it took to spruce up this garden.
MelaniaRuinsEverything
All Eyes on Melania
American tax payers now on long food bank lines must be,during a pandemic, exited their money has gone to fix Trump’s backyard cesspool! 💁♂️😷
Why did this need 'sprucing up by ripping out trees and pouring concrete?
It looks like crap and everyone knows it.
Everything they touch...they destroy!
It’s a disservice to its designer...shame.
It’s very.....ummmmm......white,isn’t it?
Where’s the Roses ?
Not my cup of tea. My opinion, no offense, it sucks now
'Spruced up'?
HIDEOUS
🙏💙 Throwback
Wasting tax payer money on a garden during a pandemic. While innocent people are dying. Shame on you!
And then the critics came out and bitched about it.
It's a very sad place now. The Trump's killed a once beautiful garden.
Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing?🌷🌱🎶🌷Where have all the flowers gone?🌷🌱🎶Long time ago.🌷🌱🎶🌷🌱🎶🌷WhiteHouse RoseGarden
Maybe the garden is supposed to be ugly, so Melania can shine... You know, like Bride vs Bridesmaid❓
What happened to the Hatch Act? If the White House grounds is for rent for campaign events now, what number do I call to check the schedule?
Looks nice and clean.
Spruced up? No. It's drab and lifeless. Looks like a garden for a mausoleum.
Spruced up? It looks like a funeral home. She destroyed the Kennedy Rose Garden... she doesn’t even have an original idea. She plagiarized another First Ladies Garden.
😳 You're taking the piss, right? She wasted how many MILLIONS of taxpayer money to destroy the Rose Garden and make it as ugly and soulless as she is. Your 'reporting' is tone deaf and ridiculous.
If by “spruced up” you mean inspired by Scorched Earth policy, then sure. I guess.
Spruced up Looks like visiting a graveyard now.
Guarantee she put in the side walk so she could walk in her unnecessary 4” heels. Also guarantee that some Drump contractor was awarded this project.
As cold and lifeless as a refrigerated morgue truck.
“Spruced up”? Really? It is a putting green now.
Spirit of your mom.
Disgusting. Don’t shill for this trash.
They dug up trees!
many people say the donald is jealous of flowers and just color in general, except for the color orange, also he's afraid of falling and melania is sick of him grabbing her hand for support.
It's as barren empty and lifeless as her soul
I have yet to receive a progress report on the WH Tennis Pavilion. What gives? What kind of reporter does it take to see if the nets are up?!
The round shrubs look like the trolls in Frozen.
Restored?
Surprised it's not all gold 🙄
Bocce anyone...Sorry not a fan...🙄
OMG. SHE BROUGHT BACK CAMELOT!!!!! 🙏🙏🤯🤯👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸👍💯
It has been destroyed.
NBC News. stop. just.... stop.
Here's how actual news outlets cover this debased disaster:
She destroyed it! What are you on about, they cut down the damn trees! Pulled out the flowers! The Trumps need to just keep their greedy hands off of EVERYTHING that America holds dear - including the White House. All they do is destroy things, it's all they know how to do 😡
Looks fine. Nothing really to hate on here.
Nice cemetery they created. The trumps are ghouls
She had the same asthetics for her Christmas horror show
'Spruced up'. Oh NBC 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
AND IT SUCKED She pulled Jackie's roses and the cherry trees that were a official peace gift from Japan Bitch done fucked it all up just her husband did to our country
The parkway in the downtown of my hometown is vibrant right now. Even if it was privately donated (for a costly future favor no doubt) the White House couldn't find a more lush presentation of flora and fauna? Started in May?
How much did that disaster cost?
There's probably a perfectly good reason why the Rose Garden was redesigned in 1962. Just sayin'
This image warrants nothing but presentation in black & white.
💩💩💩💩
It’s very “white”
TrumpVirus killed all the trees I guess
It went from “colorful collage” to bland, stark “modernism”, decoration style of a former Soviet Union building grounds in 1970!
In the middle of a pandemic let’s work on the garden... I hope you suffocate in your own demise.
I’ve seen prettier, more creative landscaping in Kroger parking lots. FLOTUS RoseGardenMassacre
When it's actually finished it will look like this
Omg this is so sad. Wtf happened to the beautiful rose garden. Please just accept the fact that FLOTUS has horrible taste!!! After all she married trumped
Tree murderess
Looks like shit. They really ruin everything. America is about to BURN as the eviction class gets desperate
'Spruced up?' Fuck you ! It's a fucking shrub farm! Where'd THE ROSES GO? Wtf!? It went from colorful to bland? I guess we should be thankful there's not golden toilets!
About time! Mooochele was busy spending money with many in her staff and her trips around the would! Money should be spent on the White House!
Fixed it.
Everything the Trumps touch dies. Melania took a classic Jaqueline Kennedy design and turned it into a Motel 6 parking border. VoteThemOut
“Spruced up”? Y’all blind?
Did the administration write that press release for you?
God you have shitty coverage.
Where is Jackie Kennedy's garden? Everything they touch turns ugly!
What a waste of taxpayer money. And It looked much better with the trees, roses, grass, and a real President.
Please don’t lose the significance of that year 1962. The year James Meredith finally walked into a white school after a federal court ruling. ✅ my math...1960-1962 brought the nation the lunch counter protests & Freedom Rides. Reaching back to such a (still) ugly time..
Which of Melania’s friends was awarded the huge rose garden renovation contract?
BeBlah
The beauty and cheerfulness of the Rose Garden is gone. It's now flat and unremarkable, easily overlooked. It's now unremarkable and bland. It not easy to ruin a rose garden but Melania did.
She ruined history! That’s what her family does... ruins history!
Haven’t Melania Trump learned her lesson that you cannot create beauty by performing unnecessary plastic surgeries?
get out of our garden How dare she use it for the idiots purposes they are renters who will be gone in January all but forgotten except for their upcoming trials
I’m surprised the roses aren’t Russian red to match the inside of the Whitehouse.
Awful and cold. Almost dystopian looking.
Nostalgia
Euphoric
A place that no POLITICAL performances are supposed to be held. These grifting people have no morals. They are all complicit and they don't care. The 'Be Worst' Ever.
It looks like ass!
Interesting how Melania used Michele Obama's speech almost word for word at the RNC 2016 convention, and now she copied Jackie Kennedy's rose garden. Can't wait to hear Melania's speech this time.
Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing?🌷🌱🎶🌷Where have all the flowers gone?🌷🌱🎶Long time ago.🌷🌱🎶🌷🌱🎶🌷WhiteHouse RoseGarden
Ripping out all the cherry trees is not something to celebrate.
Most useless first lady ever🤬🤬🤬
Oh my giddy aunt!
Spruced up?
Where are the roses?
Both the garden and the First Lady.
America is on fire basically and she’s worried about a fucking garden? Wow!
Velcome!
Spruced up? It looks worse.
She got the cemetery look spot on.
In the schemes of things, there are way more important things to worry about!
They thought the roses and trees were blue mailboxes...
Devoid of personality just like Melania
I hope she has something original to say...
Breathtaking! FLOTUS and your team did an amazing job!
FLOTUS destroyed beauty and replaced with ugly, cold , stark. RoseGarden MelaniaTrump trumpkill VoteBlue Biden2020 BidenForPresident2020 TrumpOut2020
Seriously? This is the most boring and yawn inducing garden ever. Did they install hammocks?
Decades of tree growth ripped out to satisfy bruised egos.
They ruin everything.
I can't I just can't
On brand for this trash Administration. Removed trees, looks terrible.
Priorities
I don’t care. Do you?
Lifeless
Have to make the Trash look and smell good.
Jackie Kennedy planted that garden Jackie planted those crabapple trees Melania ruined the Rose garden
It looks horrible RoseGardenMassacre
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Ugly
How much did this set taxpayers back when families are going hungry in our country? Wasteful.
Awful.
New and improved.
Nobody cares about this. Report on the complete and utter corruption in the realDonaldTrump administration.
Ah yes back to pre civil rights era. Just like this administration to make everything white. Vote these assholes out.
Very white, very flat, very .... plain .... very I DONT CARE!
