Spread a rumor that the WH will donate it to a company that makes crosses out of it. Liberal heads will explode.

Better yet, the rumor will be that the crosses will be used in Confederate cemeteries.

"I say they should save the wood and send it to a craftsman in the Carolinas,or to the Amish and have some great piece of furniture built from it, and put THAT in the White House"I suggest a table and call it the Andrew Jackson 1812 map table.

The Trumps are obviously tree haters as well.☺ Next we'll hear unnamed sources have reported Melania and Donald were fighting over who got to chop it down. Vicious.

Activists slated to Chain Selves to Tree! It's a racist, hate filled, Indian killing tree put there by none other than Andrew Jackson. It will be replaced by the Harriet Tubman tree. :)
To: Big Red Badger
There will be a judge somewhere who will reverse this decision and “save” the tree.

The cuttings are clones and are the same tree. Kudos to the park service for their preparation. Excellent.

Some young men poisoned a several hundred year old tree at the Alamo. Caught and arrested. I always wondered how his life has fared.

lol, the Trumps have found the perfect place to locate the media gaggle that perpetually hangs out on the lawn to get themselves on camera with the White House as a backdrop.

This Christmas I was given a knife made of damascus steel and the grip made of wood taken from the last dreadnought battleship - The USS Texas - the last of these battleships.
They should take the wood from this tree and make a commemorative knife with handles from this tree - the Jackson knife - and sell it and use the money for the areboretum or white house grounds.
To: Menehune56
Do something significant with the wood.
