Melania Trump Renovating White House Park, US Netizens Broken Heart
The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, is back in the spotlight. This time, netizens were excited because they had just finished renovating an iconic garden called the Rose Garden in the White House.
Located in an area outside the White House, this park is an important place because it became one of the symbols of renewal in the White House carried out in the 1960s during the leadership of John F. Kennedy. This park then became increasingly popular because the public knew that Jackie Kennedy was directly involved in the design and supervision of its construction. Rose Garden is also touted as a legacy from Jackie Kennedy.
Since its establishment, this park has been known for its various colorful flowers and is often considered to be a symbol of diversity. Not only that, the Rose Garden is also filled with trees. But unfortunately, Melania really changed the arrangement of the garden.
The White House itself announced the renovation at the end of last July. This is done because it is related to the US Republican Party convention activities to be held at the White House. Despite being implemented virtually due to the pandemic, Melania Trump is scheduled to give a live speech at the Rose Garden this Tuesday. It is suspected that because of this activity the 50-year-old woman renovated the Rose Garden.
In several photos circulating on the internet, it seems that a significant change is visible. The garden, which had a cheerful atmosphere, then changed to plain because Melania decided to cut down the lush trees and replaced the colorful flowers with white roses.
So it's no wonder that netizens feel angry with Melania Trump. Netizens on Twitter are starting to compare the past and present conditions of Rose Garden. Indirectly they consider Donald Trump's wife to be racist and she has damaged the legacy of Jackie Kennedy which is specially designed in memory of her late husband.
"Can we talk about Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden which is diverse, colorful, beautiful, and Melania has just made her look ... white?" said one netizen with the @santiagomayer_ account
Other netizens even hope that the US presidential candidate, Joe Biden, will immediately restore Rose Garden's condition to the way it was when he was elected president later.

"Dear @JoeBiden, America is heartbroken by what Melania did to Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden. I know you must have a lot of work, but when you move there (the White House) can you return it to how it was?" netizens write with the @MissLynneNYC account.
The Rose Garden, which is lush with cherry blossoms and other trees, now looks more arid and less 'alive'. Not only did Melania blaspheme netizens, the American public also considered the US government to be insensitive to conditions.
Dear @JoeBiden ,

They are considered too wasting money by doing garden renovations. Even though in the midst of a pandemic like today, many people are in trouble and have lost their jobs.
