Putting the trees in a tree museum

[soothsayer]

4. Hard for the helicopter? But probably because they're horrible people

[SamKnause]

7. That's what came to my mind after watching it land yesterday.

[soothsayer]

8. Guess they're expecting more emergencies

[Coleman]

15. SS sniper sight lines (?)

Have to cement their legacy of leave no living thing behind.

6. slash and burn policy being tested out early

[Statistical]

9. Trump believes trees cause covid.

Be honest that isn't any dumber than a lot of the stuff he says.

[empedocles]

10. Usual destructive policies

[panader0]

13. And windmills cause cancer!

[MineralMan]

29. Not to mention their blades flying for miles when they break.

[Aristus]

Sooner or later, every Republican is required to quote from the holy Book of Ronald...

[AnnaLee]

12. COVID virus exchanging genes with tree bark

[progressive nobody]

14. Now? is there video ot something? Melania already destroy the Rose garden

[SamKnause]

16. I was watching CNN.

You could see and hear them sawing the trees down, large trees.

After watching the helicopter land yesterday, I think they were trying

to make it safer by cutting them down.

It was about 15 or 20 minutes ago.

[progressive nobody]

18. Thank you. I was thinking the helicopter was too close to trees but then I thought it might

be the cameras angle. Thanks.

[SamKnause]

20. You are most welcome.

It did look very close yesterday.

Have a great weekend.

[progressive nobody]

21. You too

[njhoneybadger]

17. Have you ever seen trees around a fortress?

[SledDriver]

19. Everything Trump touches dies

[Hortensis]

22. WH AND GROUNDS are managed by congress.

The temporary occupants have no authority to remove trees or renovate rose gardens. No matter how much the media edits its coverage of work being done. Michelle had congressional approval to plant her veggies.

The latest rose garden renovation, for example, was in planning for some years before it commenced, with professional studies commissioned and proposals for renovation examined and approved -- by congress.

[SamKnause]

26. I am aware of the information you provided, however it does not answer my question.

Why are the trees being cut down ???

After watching the helicopter land yesterday I think it may have something to do with that.

It looked like a pretty tight fit.

Thanks for your input.

[Hortensis]

33. Right. I have no idea either, only that my fund of knowledge

(I like gardening and am interested in gardens we can visit) tells me it's not going to be Trump using trees as surrogates for more satisfying victims. The grounds are maintained by the WH's chief horticulturalist and the National Park Service.

[global1]

23. To Prevent Forest Fires.....

It's forest management at its best. They're going to sweep the ground after the trees are gone too.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Orcs. nt

[sarcasmo]

25. Vlad doesn't like those trees.

[JDC]

27. They want a better view of the new chain link fence

[Talitha]

30. Too many leaves to rake?

[Tanuki]

31. Trees were interfering with Putin's ability to capture surveillance information?

[Totally Tunsie]

32. Chump is eliminating one more escape hatch for Malaria?

He doesn't want her climbing out the window and sliding down the trees to get away in the middle of the night.
