Rose Garden

The United States is facing the greatest health crisis in more than a century. Millions have become ill. Unemployment is at historic highs. Businesses are closing by the thousands.

But at the White House, the focus yesterday was on a plan to revamp the Rose Garden (details here).

First Lady Melania Trump declared "the Rose Garden have always stood as a symbol of our strength, resilience and continuity." That sounds lovely but it's a pile of odoriferous fertilizer. The Rose Garden wasn't installed until the White House was more than a hundred years old.

What a perfect metaphor for the Trump White House. The nation is in grave crisis but they're talking about how everything is coming up roses. Thankfully, Election Day is less than a hundred days away and we can end this catastrophe.
