The historic Jackson magnolia has been on the south facade of the White House since the 1800smaking it the oldest on the grounds. But Tuesday, Melania Trump reportedly made the decision to have it removed after tree specialists determined the overall architecture and structure of the tree is greatly compromised.

Not “MAN” but “MSM” .... stupid auto-correct.
I would love to see the left make a big stink about this. It will bite them in the butt.
Obviously, Melania Trump is evil.
The previous article I read on another site said they had been trying to figure out ways to save it for “decades” so Melania did not order it removed.
Perhaps they can have journalists gather underneath the tree every morning for press briefings. 8>)
New Squeak is at it again!
There was a farmer who had a tree by his house. It was a majestic looking tree and apparently perfect in every part, tall, straight and immense in size, the grand old sentinel of his forest home. One morning, while at work in his garden, he saw a squirrel run up the tree into a hole and thought the tree might be hollow. He proceeded to examine it carefully. And much to his surprise, he found that the stately tree that he had valued for its beauty and grandeur to be the pride and protection of his little farmhouse was hollow from top to bottom. Only a rim of sound wood remained, barely sufficient to support its weight.
What was he to do? If he cut it down, it would do great damage with its great length and its spreading branches. If he let it remain, his family was in constant danger. In a storm it might fall or the wind might blow the tree against his house and crush his house and his children. What should he do? As he turned away he said sadly, I wish I had never seen that squirrel.

I manage an historic site, and, like it or not, sometimes you have to take down an old tree before it falls on the features. Trees have different life spans, and Im sure the arborist told her that this tree was reaching the end of the line.

They have been growing healthy off shoots of the same tree that are now 10’ tall. It will be replaced with one of those.
LOL
Trump should have it made into furniture.
That will piss off the greenies.
That’s really a terrible FAKE NEWS title.

I hope they put fuel tanks or the emergency generator in Michelle’s garden.
Great fundraising opportunity for POTUS #45 DJT to direct to another worthy charity. Make WH souvenir plaques from the harvested timber.
Auburn University did it several years ago after a deranged University of Alabama fan poisoned the oak trees at Toomer’s Corner. In America we call it making lemonade from lemons.
Yes, I’m sure she is doing it just because she hates trees and hates Jackson and the WH.
When it comes down, it will probably land on a mouse.
Lamestream Media: “Melania eradicates mice.”
“Enviro-Mentalists” (TM) think trees are like rocks and go on forever, and if you remove it, it’s gone forever and can never be replaced.
Bogus title. The tree is rotten and could fall, so it has to go.
