Rose "Garden"

Since Orange Nero now considers himself Supreme Leader for life he's renovating the White House as if it's his personal palace and remaking it in the image of his actual personal residence at Mar-a-Lago. Which is kind of a problem because the White House belongs to the American people, not him. But again, what am I thinking, that's old America where we had presidents, not life long divine monarchs.

Anyway, the new Rose "Garden" has been completed. I put garden in quotes because there no longer is any garden - it's gone, replaced with a garish cement hellscape that looks like Isengard did after Saruman decimated the surrounding forest in service to his evil agenda. And the Rose ... er ... Pavement is surrounded by black & grey American flag drains and the presidential seal; also giving mark of the White Hand vibes.

This is Trump in microcosm: literally paving over American tradition and history to implement his personal preferences because he has no respect for anyone or anything other than himself. Although on second thought he does seem to have a great level of admiration for dictators.* 

*Just an aside: but let's revisit something for a moment. The surreal reality that American voters elected someone who in advance of the 2016 election retweeted an actual fascist quote attributed to Benito Mussolini because HE AGREED WITH AN ACTUAL FASCIST QUOTE ATTRIBUTED TO A FASCIST DICTATOR. (Or, you know, the time he retweeted - I'm not making this up - the account "WhiteGenocideTM.") Yet we still have people who call it hyperbole or Trump Derangement Syndrome to accuse him of promoting fascism. Oh and then there is also the matter of the masked secret police currently roaming the streets, just randomly beating the shit out of people for the crime of not being white enough.
