You know, I don’t have strong feelings about the White House rose garden one way or the other. But I can’t see how this isn’t intended to piss _someone_ off. Have there been complaints about a lack of flags at 1600 Penn.? “WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House broke ground Monday on construction projects ordered by President Donald Trump to pave over the grass in the Rose Garden and install flagpoles on the north and south lawns.” > **[White House breaks ground on Trump projects to pave over Rose Garden grass,...](https://apnews.com/article/trump-white-house-rose-garden-lawn-flagpoles-22fd65b458003b817047cd9f3678978e?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share)** > > The White House has broken ground on construction projects ordered by President Donald Trump to pave over the Rose Garden lawn and install flagpoles on the north and south lawns. ---
