We’ve barely heard a peep from Melania Trump since she stepped off Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport wearing a psychodelic caftan after departing the White House on Inauguration Day 2021.
In her first tweet in over a month, Melania blasted presidential historian Michael Beschloss yesterday for criticizing her for destroying the White House Rose Garden.
““.@BeschlossDC has proven his ignorance by showing a picture of the Rose Garden in its infancy,” she tweeted. “The Rose Garden is graced with a healthy & colorful blossoming of roses.”
She added, “His misleading information is dishonorable & he should never be trusted as a professional historian.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Melania famously had the garden, which was originally planted by Jackie Kennedy in 1962, completely ripped out in 2019. She also had ten perfectly healthy crabapple trees removed for no reason. It was one of the few projects she actually accomplished as First Lady.

The garden, which is often used by presidents to deliver speeches and hold outdoor press briefings, was the site of a “superspreader event” last September when it was used to celebrate Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS nomination.
Three weeks after Melania unveiled the new garden design, it had to undergo emergency repairs after experiencing “some minor complications” after the grass was damaged beyond repair during the Republican National Convention, when hundreds of people trampled all over it.
In April, a change.org petition received over 80,000 signatures from people asking calling Dr. FLOTUS Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff to fix the Rose Garden.
“We want Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff to take this on and restore the Rose Garden to [former first lady Jackie Kennedy’s] original design,” the Change.org petition said, nothing that the renovations made by the Trump administration “ripped away” Kennedy’s legacy.
Biden and Emhoff have not responded to the petition.

Now Melania claims there are roses in the new garden.
So if that is true, then her only aim was to rip out the roses and trees planted by former first ladies, meaning she’s even more petty and anti-American.
If it isn’t true, then it’s another lie, just like the lie that Melania speaks 5 languages, that she graduated college, that she wrote her Republican Convention Speech “All by herself”, etc.
Chrisk
The republicans would always roll that out that out whenever anyone criticized her. Can you speak 5 languages? Then when they visited foreign countries she got busted for not knowing said languages. Then the whole stolen speech.
They created her fake background but she was more then willing to go along with it.
She’s nothing but a mail ordered whore for Donnie. There’s really nothing else to know.

She’s not lying. There are roses and other flowering plants that have bloomed. The problem isn’t that she’s lying and killed the rose garden. The problem is her attempt to create a traditional English border garden goes against everything the previous garden was so loved for. The previous rose garden was loved because it evoked a home garden. Something you might see a well off middle class family have on their property. It was colorful and inviting with enough space you could walk through the trees. It wasn’t pretentious nor did it look like something you’d see bordering overpriced hotels. She wanted a garden that said prim, proper, and posh while most of the American people wanted her to not phucking try and fix something that wasn’t “broken”.

@jayceecook
And I also think she and her husband thought it would be funny to rip out everything planted by the former first ladies.
jayceecook
@Cam Probably. I also think it was done so her “beloved” husband could enter the garden without any obstruction. Before the ornamental trees sort of blocked parts of the walkway the president takes to enter the garden. I’m sure any second where he couldn’t be seen was an affront to his large, Cheeto colored ego.

Don’t forget she entered the country on a genius visa and chain migration green cards for her parents.

Melania is the ignorant one whose misleading information is dishonorable and the one who should never be trusted, not Dr. Beschloss. Shame on her and whoever is letting her write her own word-for-word-translation-from-the-Slovenian tweets!
Derek Northcutt
She’s just like her husband: takes something nice we have and destroys it to soothe her ego (she wanted to do something ! anything!). They’re both pigs who think they’re better but the most they can do is undo the work of their betters.
ted
Melania, Tell me when you bury that fat orange husband of yours.
sfhairy
Do we really care what Melanomia really says? No.
MISTERJETT
not at all
Bengali
CLAIM: Speaks 5 languages fluently.
TRUTH: When she spoke to Russian children, they couldn’t understand her. Russian is one of her “fluent” languages. And we already know her English is shoddy.
CLAIM: Donald cheated on her with Stormy Daniels
TRUTH: Yup. Although I am not sure it’s cheating as Stormy couldn’t locate Trump’s gherkin.
I do wish they would exchange the shovel in the pic at the top. More appropriate for her to be holding a “HOE” because “ONE HOE BELONGS WITH ANOTHER HOE.”
Mr-DJ
“Tradition” meant NOTHING to the Trumps. Just like “Treaties” meant nothing to the Trumps; nor honor, nor friendship, nor true alliances. They are all self-righteous pricks, lacking any soul or integrity.
IanHunter
Well said.

Melania’s trash but there are infinitely more important things for Dr. Biden to be working on, at the moment. A garden simply doesn’t rate in the face of today’s America.

UNAMERICAN MORONIA.

Jill Biden should bulldoze what Melly had done and put it back.

A beautiful garden created by a beautiful FIRST LADY…
destroyed by a FIRST SKANK.
montegutdude
Her blood red Christmas was a close second, but for me, this was the worst thing Melania did as First Lady. All the Kennedy crabapples were ripped out along with anything that bloomed in a vibrant color. And it was replaced with whites, pastels and concrete. She literally paved paradise and put in a parking lot. Its just unforgivable.
Invader7
No taste Melanoma succeeds @ DESTROYING things of beauty . She’s a low life piece of trash like her equally sleazy hubby. They deserve each other. They’re trapped in a gilded hell hole where they can rip each other to shreds.. May ALL Agolf Twitterler & his family ALL BURN in HELL !!!
greekboy
So Malaria is pissed. Look who she’s married to. You’d be pissed too
cuteguy
This is what Melania decided to come out of hiding and comment on?!! #BeBest at being the worst First Lady in history.

????????????????????????????????????

People who don’t know that those weren’t Jackie’s original crabapple trees and who don’t really know anything about the Rose Garden history or design beyond the deliberately inflammatory two-picture tweet should read the Architectural Digest article The Full Story Behind the Controversial Rose Garden Redesign and the Town & Country article A Look at the History of the White House Rose Garden and Melania Trump’s Renovations, both from August 2020.
LeBlevsez
Indeed! We knew that Mrs. Trump was the only person for this important and overdue project when she uttered those immortal words, “No Step on Snek.”
montegutdude
Actually, I read that very same article before commenting and 3-4 others. Calling the trees Kennedy crabapples refers to their origin, not their provenance. I’ve toured all 3 WH gardens you can visit in person and I’d rather the old design that was shady and colorful (even with its drainage issues) over the sterile, neutered result Melania produced any day.
Cam
Except you left out the part where she ripped out the roses that other first ladies DID plant.
BoomerMyles
Is the ex hooker still doing softcover porn shoots?
lykeitiz
I’m sorry, but I believe the truth should still take precedent. Melania didn’t plant anything any sooner than she was loading up a dolly at Home Depot. This was a joint project that included White House landscapers and gardeners who worked through several administrations.
She’s still a nasty Birther who is still married to a domestic terrorist who chain migrated her parents and who really cannot speak 5 languages because they didn’t teach that in the Slovanian brothel she came from, but let’s be real…….The First Wh*re did not single-handedly rip out 50 plus years of American history.
Cam
She took credit for it. So as far as I’m concerned, she gets the backlash.
DCFarmboy
Garden design is a matter of taste, so I will leave that alone. But what is disappointing is that she (or her spokesperson) decided to make personal attacks on the writer who criticized the garden layout (never mentioning Mrs. Trump’s name) rather than just speak positively of her work.
It seems with the Trumps it is always personal belittlement rather than ideas or policy.
BaltoSteve
She committed the same sin many before her have committed. Just because someone with taste and style drapes clothing on you like a living mannequin, it doesn’t mean you have style or taste.
Mort
Here’s what I don’t get: How can someone stand in soil while wearing spike heels and wielding a shovel (or pretending to) AND NOT SINK INTO THE DIRT/ Doesn’t this defy the laws of physics? Is she some kind of witch?
Oh.
