President Trump’s newly completed Rose Garden patio has become the center of controversy after he revealed security footage capturing contractors damaging the limestone surface. The president shared the video on Truth Social, showing workers dragging a faulty steel cart across the stone, creating a 25-yard-long gash.
Trump criticized the “stupidity” of the subcontractors, stating they were responsible for the mishap during landscaping work. He announced plans to replace the damaged material, penalize the contractors, and permanently ban them from White House projects. The footage, which he called proof of the contractors’ negligence, also highlighted the effectiveness of the White House’s security system.
The president emphasized his commitment to quality craftsmanship, noting the Rose Garden’s redesign exceeded expectations. He contrasted his attention to detail with a hypothetical scenario involving former President Biden, suggesting the situation might have gone unnoticed under previous leadership.
No further details about the contractors or specific individuals involved were provided in the post.
