💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump has nearly completed a major renovation of the White House Rose Garden, fully paving over the former grassy lawn. This update is part of his broader plan to modify the Executive Mansion and its grounds, including adding new flagpoles and a potential ballroom. Trumps’ motivation cited convenience for women in heels over wet grass. The redesigned garden, initially commissioned by President John F. Kennedy, has hosted key events like Thanksgiving turkey pardons.
