1. I wish they could restore it to

how it was before Melania got her grubby little hands on it. The trees and colorful flowers were much better. Now it looks like the grounds of a mausoleum.

3. i don't know how to feel about this. I adore Isamu Noguchi and wrote a paper on him

for my college sculpture class and was inspired by him. I don't know if I'm disgusted because it's Melania messing around with his art or if I'm happy because he is one of my favorite artists.

4. WTF....

... the posted pic is what we REMEMBER the Rose Garden looking like ...
... my apologies to those who like Noguchi's work, but it's as sterile as what the redesigned the garden looks like ...
... it will look so out of place against a neoclassical bldg and ionic columns ...
... one has to look at the entire aspect -- it's just not the right place for that piece ...

5. I think it looks awful. One has to consider what sort of house it is...

Looks out of place.

6. I can't even see it.
