President Donald Trump ranted on social media against “stupid” subcontractors he accused of nearly ruining the White House Rose Garden remodel.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump referenced his real estate background before saying he found a “deep and nasty” gash in the Rose Garden and he angrily insisted to know who was responsible.

“I used, at the White House, the most beautiful marble and stone available anywhere. Surfaces are very important to me as a Builder. As everyone knows, I built many GREAT Buildings, and other things, over the years,” Trump wrote.

The president continued:

At the White House, I am very proud of the beautiful stonework we did in the Rose Garden, in this case, using limestone plus. The Rose Garden is completed, and far more beautiful than anyone ever had in mind when it was conceived of, decades ago.

Three days ago, while admiring the stonework, I happened to notice a huge gash in the limestone that extended more than 25 yards long. It was deep and nasty! I started yelling, “Who did this, and I want to find out now!” — And I didn’t say this in a nice manner. I wondered, “Was it vandalism or, was it stupidity?”

Trump said he found the subcontractors responsible and they will never be working at the White House again. He even included surveillance footage of the incident in question in his post.

He wrote:

Lo and behold, because of the fact that we’ve installed the finest security equipment anywhere, they brought back the stupid people, with their boss watching (in sunglasses!). It was a subcontractor that was installing heavy landscaping on a steel cart that was broken and tilting badly, with it rubbing hard against the soft, beautiful stone.

I love and respect great workers and contractors, but something like this should never happen. Now, I’ll replace the stone, charge the contractor, and never let that contractor work at the White House again — But, how great is the video equipment? We caught them, cold. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump unveiled his paved-over Rose Garden, with its central lawn replaced by concrete, earlier this month. Critics recoiled at the new “patio,” while others likened it to a “parking lot” replacing the once-green space.
