Trump held the event to thank lawmakers for supporting his legislative efforts.
Lol. A club, I thought it was the peoples house. Restore the grass.
Wait what!? I heard Trump destroyed the rose garden to install the big beautiful flag! This garden looks very nice;)
THIS JUST IN: FEDERAL JUDGE DECLARES ROSE GARDEN MAKEOVER UNCONSTITUTIONAL. ORDERS GRASS RESTORED.
while its interesting and looks quite nice – I’m not a guy that cares for someone doing anything with my napkin.. that’s the limit ; reality is – having all these people in one place makes for a very significant target of opportunity that I’m not comfortable with in the world as it is today.. have fun – don’t do anything stupid
