Donald Trump Sparks Debate Over Rose Garden Renovation and ‘Grass Talk’
Former President Donald Trump left many puzzled after declaring himself an expert on grass during a speech about revamping Washington, D.C. parks. “I know more about grass than any human being,” Trump claimed, citing his experience with golf courses. He even suggested D.C.’s grass had “died 40 years ago.”
Social media users erupted with mixed reactions. Some mocked the comment, saying Trump was “debating the life cycle of grass while Americans worry about jobs and healthcare.” Others argued his golf empire gave him credibility.
The comments also reignited criticism of Trump’s $2 million White House Rose Garden renovation, where grass was replaced with white stone. He defended the change, saying soggy lawns ruined reporters’ heels and that stone “reflects heat” while matching the White House’s look.
While some praised the redesign, others saw irony: a self-proclaimed grass expert who paved over the nation’s most famous lawn.
🚨WTF: In a bizarre moment, Trump rants about grass at DC parks: “I know more about grass than any human being… Grass has a life. We have a life, and grass has a life. The grass here died about 40 years ago.”
Has Trump’s completely lost his mind?
