Melania can’t find a single gardening expert to defend her in Rose Garden debacle

The controversy surrounding Melania Trump’s destruction of the White House rose garden rages on and on.

Last week, the ex-FLOTUS broke a month of silence on Twitter to castigate presidential historian Michael Beschloss for criticizing her for destroying the White House rose garden.

“[email protected] proved his ignorance by showing a photo of the rose garden in its early days, ”she tweeted. “The rose garden is adorned with a healthy and colorful bloom of roses.”

. @ BeschlossDC proved their ignorance by showing a photo of the Rose Garden in its early days. The rose garden is adorned with a healthy and colorful bloom of roses. His misleading information is dishonorable and he should never be trusted as a professional historian. https://t.co/LU243SANF1 pic.twitter.com/PuVOSjxx5w

It was his first tweet in over a month and his 35th since leaving Washington, DC in January.

Over the weekend, CNN tried to settle the argument by posting a 1,300-word article defending, or at least explaining better, the renovation of Melania’s garden. The only problem was that he couldn’t find anyone to talk about it.

No gardening expert wanted his name associated with history. The article therefore had to draw on “someone familiar with the Rose Garden renovation”, who offered this generic gardening advice that seems straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine:

“The first year it sleeps, the second year it crawls and the third year it jumps. Everyone knows that adage, ”the person told CNN of the temperate waiting process, which those in the gardening world know to be true.

The person, who like three other people interviewed for this story, requested anonymity to discuss Washington’s most controversial green space terrain.

“There’s no way with the work that was done that it could be – ‘ta-da! And There you go !’ This person said. “The whole garden had to be torn down to be rebuilt. “

Tommy Christopher at Mediaite sums it up best when he writes: “If the turmoil in the garden has illustrated the polarization that surrounds Melania Trump, the failure of a single gardener to defend her by name underscores it.

Seriously, we’re never gonna hear the end of it, are we?

Here’s what others are saying …

This is what happens when you give the keys to the castle to old people.

What a strange story of whiners. It takes a fleeting tweet on a rather superficial subject, and while decrying it also greatly amplifies it. Hey everyone look how victimized she is! Too bad for the counterfeit Evita!

Melania had the iconic garden pulled up in 2019. It was one of the few projects, along with the tennis pavilion and the selection of new fabrics for the red room, which she actually accomplished in her four years as as first lady.

The garden, which is often used by presidents for speeches and outdoor media briefings, was the site of a ‘super-dissemination event’ last September when it was used to celebrate the nomination. Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS.

Three weeks after Melania unveiled her new garden, it had to undergo emergency repairs after the flowers began to die off and the grass was destroyed during the Republican National Convention, when hundreds of people the have stomped.
