President Donald Trump loves dinner parties and entertaining guests from all over the world. So he paved over the Rose Garden with a concrete patio so his guests can relax outdoors after dinner.
Paving over the Rose Garden is just one step in Trump’s plans to completely renovate the White House. Also in Trump’s plans is a $200 million golden ballroom to accommodate 650 guests.
The $200 million cost for the golden ballroom will be covered by taxpayers and private donations, according to reports.

Critics took to social media to complain about the Rose Garden being paved over for a “parking lot.”
“This is far worse than what Melania did during his first term,” one person wrote on a female-majority gossip board.
Another person wrote: “These people are trying to just make everything sad. He could have done this idea but made it more colorful.”
A third person wrote: “That’s where he’s burying those Epstein files.”
But others saw the benefit in paving over the Rose Garden.
“Making America great! He’s cutting costs,” one Trump supporter wrote.
Another Trump supporter added: “This is better for the environment. Save water!”

Wow. The Rose Garden renovation by Trump is absolutely appalling. He removed a beautiful piece of the White House and replaced it with concrete crap. I’m glad I got to see the Rose Garden in person before Trump did this because this is just gross. pic.twitter.com/IPWE5pMCg8

Dear God. The Rose Garden renovation looks worse than anyone could have ever imagined.
Here's hoping the next president will rip this up and restore its beauty. pic.twitter.com/NJd2IO5bdD

We’ve got money to bulldoze the White House Rose Garden and turn it into a Mar-a-Lago-style patio, but we can’t pay for cancer research for kids or make sure veterans aren’t living off food stamps. pic.twitter.com/tOw4HY0XUs
