Melania Trump promotes new memoir by bragging about 'evisceration' of Kennedy rose garden
Among the controversies during Donald Trump's administration was the destruction of first lady Jacqueline Kennedy's rose garden just outside the Oval Office. Now Melania Trump is promoting her new book with a video bragging about removing it.
The Daily Beast noticed that the former president's third wife was eager to show off her plans and photos of the new White House Rose Garden.
According to Mrs. Trump, she felt a “deep responsibility” with the White House landscaping and hoped to respect the stamp from all first ladies. The preservation however, was a complete elimination, leaving Americans aghast and claiming, "God this sucks."

“When the committee for the preservation of the White House asked me to renovate the Rose Garden I felt a deep responsibility to respect tradition and to preserve its grandeur for future generations,” Mrs. Trump says in the commentary. “In my book, I share the story of this journey, how my team and I worked to safeguard this piece of our history.”
At the time, Trump pulled out all of the multi-colored roses, flowering trees and tulips that served as a backdrop of announcements and press conference by presidents for decades. Americans took to social media disgusted with the move.
Historian Michael Beschloss called it an "evisceration." All of the roses were removed and replace with box hedges trimmed in rounded shapes and in a zig-zag pattern along the side beds. Between the hedges were all white flowers.
Mrs. Trump was criticized by one MSNBC panel as making it look like "The Beverly Hillbillies." She complained in press interviews for the "damage," but it was met by the public with more insults from critics claiming she made it look like "a cheap golf club." She was accused of "arranging the flowers on the Titanic."
