This title is so pathetic that Newsweak appears to now be parodying itself. They have no shame.

Melania Trump orders removal of near-200-year-old tree from White House I read that the arborist said it was "fragile" and needed removing. Now it's Melania Trump ordering the removal??

Hahahahahahaha...we were discussing this on another thread, and said they would try to pin this on Trump somehow!
I am sure Mrs. Trump just didn’t like seeing it outside the window and ordered it cut down!

so now, we will hear how Melania is a tree cutter, despoiler of the environment, and other epithets from the enviro-extremist crowd, over this action. Just wait, it’s coming.
To: Menehune56
It's a safety risk, on the verge of toppling.
"....every effort had been made to preserve the historic tree and was concerned about the safety of visitors and members of the press"
But in the latter case, maybe it still has some usefulness.
To: Menehune56
A non-partisan story details how cuttings from this tree have been growing at a facility nearby specifically to be transplanted where the diseased tree is now.
This move has been carefully planned for some time.
Shame on Newsweak for presenting this story this way.

One thing about the America/Trump hating commie pigs living in this country. They’d bitch if you hung ‘em with a new rope. What a bunch of scum.

There is a good likelihood that the tree was planted by a slave owner and should no way be memorialized.
To: Menehune56
And then CNN goes to the trouble of getting documents about the tree to make sure she’s not killing a healthy tree for her convenience- that’s what they were REALLY hoping they would find. Good grief, how unhinged can they get?

Newsweak never misses a lick trying to denigrate President Trump and Melania.

Let’s require the MAN to gather beneath that tree for every breaking news event and press briefing. With Sarah and/or POTUS Trump a safe distance away, of course!

"After reviewing the reports, she trusted that every effort had been made to preserve the historic tree and was concerned about the safety of visitors and members of the press, who are often standing right in front of the tree during Marine One lifts."
I say keep the tree, and restrict the area, to make sure only the press is allowed to stand in front of, or under it.
