Trump's 'Rose Garden Club' Debut: Opulence Sparks Liberal Outrage
WHITE HOUSE EXCLUSIVE: Trump Unveils Swanky Rose Garden Patio, Liberals Go Ballistic
In a night of opulence and excess, President Donald Trump, 79, threw a dinner party for the crème de la crème of Washington insiders at his newly revamped White House patio, aptly dubbed the 'Rose Garden Club.' The event, attended by senators, members of Congress, and other high-profile guests, was met with outrage from liberals who saw it as a symbol of Trump's disconnect from the struggles of everyday Americans.
The invitation-only soiree, held on Friday evening, featured a menu that read like a gastronomic dream: Rose Garden salad, New York strip steak, thyme-roasted chicken, summer pasta primavera, and a decadent fudge-filled seven-layer cake for dessert. The bill, however, was surely footed by taxpayers.
"This is the grand opening of the Predator Patio," snarked California Governor Gavin Newsom on social media, referencing the ongoing Epstein scandal. "Welcome to Predator Patio! Admission? Just prove you're on the Epstein List!" He also took aim at Speaker Mike Johnson, who had shared a photo from the event on X, writing: "After ripping health care from 17 million Americans and slashing food stamps for kids, we're glad Mike 'Marie Antoinette' Johnson and his boy friends had time to toast the grand opening of Predator Patio."
Newsom's scathing critique wasn't the only one. Another user took to social media to vent: "The Rose Garden CLUB ???? WTF? Seriously???" while a third ranted, "Disgusting!" Someone else likened the appearance of the patio to a "rundown mall food court." A more pointed jab came from a commenter who wrote: "Remember when you are clipping coupons and stretching your budget at the grocery store, that Trump has your tax dollars paying for dinner parties on his rose garden patio."
However, not everyone was displeased. Texas Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, a close ally of the president, gushed about the evening, writing, "I had a wonderful time at the grand opening of the Rose Garden Club at the White House with @POTUS... It was a beautiful evening, and a great reminder that we’re not tired of winning for the American people!"
Republican Congressman John Rode echoed Van Duyne's sentiment, praising the patio as "beautiful." He also thanked Trump for making it happen. But while Trump's supporters were celebrating, the president's detractors were left fuming.
The Rose Garden Patio, once a tranquil green space, has been transformed into an exclusive club where politicians and high-society guests can mingle over fine dining and cocktails. The evening's festivities came on the heels of a previous dinner party for tech leaders, which was forced to relocate from the rose garden due to inclement weather.
That event, held in the State Dining Room, featured a who's who of Silicon Valley heavy-hitters, including Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai. Trump even took time to compliment Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend, Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, calling her his "really wonderful MAGA girlfriend."
Trump's remarks were met with applause from the tech moguls, who were reportedly thrilled to be in attendance. The evening's Q&A session, however, was marked by some awkward moments, particularly when Trump was questioned about his administration's stance on AI.
The dinner party debacle has sparked a national conversation about the disconnect between Washington insiders and everyday Americans. As one Twitter user pointed out: "While you're cheering on the Rose Garden Club, many of us are struggling to put food on the table. Let's not forget who we represent."
As the controversy surrounding Trump's Rose Garden Patio continues to simmer, one thing is clear: this is a president who knows how to throw a party, even if it means using taxpayer dollars to do so.
