Secret Transformation: Rose Garden Bulldozed and Paved Over in Shocking White House Redesign
Two new flags and a ballroom are on the cards for the White House
In a recent statement to PEOPLE, a White House official explained Trump’s continued work on the project, saying it was focused “on enhancing practical use and guest experience for those attending special events.”
Speaking to the Spectator Magazine’s Ben Domenech, in February this year, Trump also shared his vision for the garden, saying:
“I think it’s actually going to look better. But some people would like to leave it. But the problem is you can’t.”
He noted that he also planned on adding another feature.

“So one of the things I’m going to do is build a beautiful, magnificent ballroom at the White House,” he told Domenech.
He also indicated that he planned on placing new flag poles on the north and south lawns.
He told reporters in April: “We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side, and another one on the other side. Two flags, top of the line.”

They’ve needed flagpoles for 200 years. It was something I’ve often said, you know, they don’t have a flagpole, per se.”
Social media is not enthusiastic about the renovation
Not everyone is enthusiastic about the alterations, and the discussion spilled out onto social media.

One person predicted that the paving would not last. In response to the story’s appearance on social media, they wrote: “In a few years time that pavement will be torn out and a garden replanted! Bank on it.”
