Melania Trump Brags About Destroying Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden and Americans Are Furious

It might seem hard to imagine someone who’s as bad at being a First Lady as Donald Trump was at being President. Thankfully, we don’t have to imagine. We have Melania Trump.

And just like her husband, she won’t go away, even though it’s been a few years since she was anywhere near the White House.

I hope that’s out of shame, because the way she treated that place was just about as disrespectful as anything you can think of. When she was done treating it like a chore to live there, she didn’t even give the incoming First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, the “tea and tour” that was traditional for the 112 years prior to that.

As our series on Melania’s ads for her upcoming memoir has proven, though, she thinks pretty highly of how she performed as a First Lady.

The last video clip, posted as always on her social media account on X, is about just that. Melania is now bragging about how she “renovated” the Rose Garden at the White House.

In the video, Melania talks about the process as though her ideas were vital to keeping tradition alive and maintaining the connection Americans felt with that beautiful portion of our country’s home of highest honor.

“When the committee for the preservation of the White House asked me to renovate the Rose Garden I felt a deep responsibility to “respect tradition and to preserve its grandeur for future generations. In my book, I share the story of this journey, how my team and I worked to safeguard this piece of our history.”

That’s not how history sees it, of course. In fact, Melania does a good job both in this video and, one presumes, also her book of completely ignoring the fact that America was outraged at the changes.

In fact, historian Michael Beschloss wrote criticism so scathing of the changes she made to the Rose Garden that it’s small wonder there was an immediate petition after Biden won for Jill to return the garden to its “former glory.”

Beschloss tweeted at the time that it was an “evisceration,” what Melania had done with the Rose Garden.

Grim indeed. The petition to have Biden restore Jackie’s garden called Melania’s handiwork “a boring tribute to herself,” adding that “Jackie’s legacy was ripped away from Americans who remembered all that the Kennedys meant to us.”

Obviously Melania still feels good enough about it today to put it in an ad for her book. I suppose that’s not much different than how proud  she was [7] of her naked pictures, which was apparently another topic in the book worthy of mentioning in her increasingly bizarre ads.

Anyway, you decide whether she should be crowing about angering half the country, just to sell more copies of Melania.

As you’d imagine, people on social media were disgusted:
