Where are the roses in the White House rose garden?

Melania Trump’s re-do of the Rose Garden is angering people everywhere. First of all, there are few roses. Second, Melania has drained all the vibrant color from the garden. Third, it looks like she’s chopped down cherry trees planted by Jackie Kennedy in 1961.

When Melania makes her “speech” from there on Tuesday night, they’re going to have cart in flowers to make the place look like a garden. Right now, under her command, she’s build an austere, severe graveyard in the back of the White House.

Maybe it’s a metaphor for the 170,000+ her husband has killed while in office. If that’s the case, then my hat is off to her.
