2 different things going on. First, the tree removal:

Trump orders removal of White House 'witness tree': 200-year-old magnolia, planted by Andrew Jackson, cut down

... The tree which was located in the South Portico of the White House has seen 39 US presidents come and go and was believed to be the oldest tree on the White House grounds....

Why was it removed?

As per a CNN report, an assessment by the United States National Arboretum during Trump's first term, found the tree was in a dire shape. In 2017, Melania Trump even gave approval for portions of the tree to be pruned.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote that the tree has to be removed because it was "in terrible condition."

He said that it was "a very dangerous safety hazard, at the White House Entrance, no less, and must now be removed."

... "The bad news is that everything must come to an end," he noted.

The tree was removed by the National Park Service on Monday (Apr 7). In recent years, the tree as per The Times was supported by a steel pole and would've fallen without the support.

As per the report, the replacement tree has been grown from seeds from the Magnolia Jackson tree....

Sounds to me like its time had come. Fuck Andrew Jackson, anyways.

Trump plants ‘MAGAnolia’ to replace 200-year-old tree


The White House released a video showing Mr Trump digging into the ground with a gold-plated shovel while planting the 12-year-old sapling

"MAGAnolia", "gold-plated shovel" -

... The tree had shaded the White House’s South Portico for the majority of US presidencies, but it had been in bad shape since a small plane landed on the South Lawn and crashed into it in 1994, killing the pilot.

That got very close to the Oval Office.

... Mr Trump is reported to regard Andrew Jackson as his favourite president. He has repeatedly praised the seventh president in speeches, and placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office during his first term.

... A report by arborists said the tree could cause harm because of a “risk of structural failure”....

New tree:



The second issue is broader:

'Ripping up history to put down concrete': Trump's Rose Garden makeover attacked

During his first term, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump removed a significant portion of Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden at the White House. Now, the second term has removed another tree, and pavers are being placed, reported Daily Mail reporter Emily Goodin.

In February, The New York Times reported that the Trump team was planning to make more changes to the iconic Rose Garden to craft a patio in the Mar-a-Lago style.

Trump told staff his desire to tear up the grass in the Rose Garden and cover it with a solid surface....

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss attacked the Trump administration for trashing the White House for the Republican National Convention camera shots in 2020.

Trump wanted a shot of him and Melania Trump walking through the colonnade to the Rose Garden during the convention, said Beschloss at the time. That proved to be impossible because Kennedy's crab apple trees blocked the view from the cameras. So, they "yanked" them out along with all of the other vegetation. A path was put in its place. Later, the White House blamed the renovation on an "irrigation" issue.

Critics weren't happy.

"Unbelievable. He [is] ripping up history to put down concrete so he can turn the Rose Garden into Mar a Lago," lamented political strategist and radio host Chris D. Jackson.

"There's no end to this man's vulgarity. Inspired by Mar-a-Lago, Trump wants to pave over the grassy part of the Rose Garden," complained journalist and radio host Doug Henwood....

Manicured lawns with heavy fertilizer and pesticide use have issues, but I prefer them to solid surfaces and people have managed there for decades. Otoh, it's not like kids and dogs play on the lawn, which is the best use for one.

Talk about outrage over nothing. At least it gave Vrede something to do for a few minutes.

I’d like to see his college grade point average. I’ll bet it was below average.

Nah, daddy bought PINO good grades.

Is the medical establishment in the habit of giving cognitive exams to people they don't think are showing cognitive decline?

Cognitive exams test and document the most basic levels of cognition. Anyone bragging about their cognitive score has not comprehended the purpose of the cognitive exam. Irony.

That's part of what's weird. He usually would want to be surrounded by his adoring, loving perfect family for photo ops.

Your link doesn't say where they are, does it? If you mean the Floridians, I think POTUSes make a big production out of going to the National Cathedral or one of the other large DC churches.

No, it's just the PINO schedule. Guessing it would say if he's traveling to a golf course, that's a public movement.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

[O Really]

Remember the publicity trouble Hillary got into because of her "basket of deplorables" comment? Remember earlier the trashing she got for standing by her man and saying she's not a "stand by your man" person baking cookies? Remember the crashing end of Gary Hart's campaign for getting caught on the "Monkey Business" boat? Remember Bush the Elder getting beat at least in large part because of reneging on his "read my lips - no new taxes" boast? Remember the abuse Bush the Younger took for his "Mission Accomplished" photo op? I could go on, but what's the point? How is it even conceivable that a President* could post such a rant and large numbers of the population says "yay" and other large numbers yawn and say "Trump will be Trump" and nobody in media even bothers to challenge the lies, much less the total inappropriateness of the rant.

[GoCubsGo]

He's normalized crazy.

And everyone left is too fatigued, there's only so many fronts you can fight and war. That's by design.
