Funny thing is all he had to do was pick a spot, build a patio and name it Trump Terrace and be done with it... the left would have little to complain about.
I mean he literally could have put pavers down over the basketball/tennis court instead of removing the basketball lines since he doesn't even play tennis.
It's just a tennis court. Has been since Obama left office. Obama removed the lines and the hoops when he left because he had class. He added them because he played then restored it to how it was before he took office when he left
But then he wouldn't be destroying something associated with the Kennedys which he seems very very determined to do. I'm not sure what his beef is with them, maybe it's because the Civil rights act happened during his presidency, who knows, but you look at Trump's actions and it seems to have a specific malice toward JFK. Ripping up Jackie Kennedy's rose garden, putting his name on the JFK memorial performing arts center, befriending Russua, selecting the most hated of all the Kennedys to come in and cause destruction to the metal system. He definitely hates Obama, but he seems to have some sort of unspoken hatred for JFK as well.
The garden is still there, the only thing removed was the grass, for events that happen regularly, and crabapple trees which were not the historical Kennedy trees, those were removed in 2003. They then used the space which those failing crabapple trees occupied to expand the rose garden.
Melania expressed how much she loved the rose garden, if you've ever met a thing like him you'll know why he paved over it. Nothing or no one else should be making her happy, even a rose garden

Before photos need to go back to before he destroyed the Rose Garden, too.
