Opera aficionado Melania has replaced the Whitehouse rose garden with a concrete slab

The White House Rose Garden is almost unrecognizable as President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump continue their summer renovations.

A new photo taken on Tuesday, July 22, showed the large concrete slab that now rests where grass once covered the historic space, which was given a central lawn in 1961 at the request of President John F. Kennedy.

In a March interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump explained the decision to put down concrete and design something more similar to a presidential patio.

“You know, we use [the Rose Garden] for press conferences, and it doesn’t work because the people fall,” he said. "The terrain can be wet, and the soft ground can be an issue for some... Women, with the high heels, it just didn’t work.”

The Beverly Hillbillies had more class than these two. (Yes, I know it was just a show)

to hold press conferences and other events. One would think that Jedd Clampett and Co. could have used a nicely air-conditioned room for such extravaganzas. Hmmm, wasn't the Inauguration held inside? See, it works during the winter as well!

Dumb asses.
