It's not a minor thing, really. It's yet another example of the Trumps' seeming need to stamp out every good and decent American legacy; every spec of grace, and replacing it with ideas and iconography that reflects only themselves. As if history begins and ends with them. https://twitter.com/Leslieoo7/status/1297207405932171264

So Jackie Kennedy's beautiful garden must be ripped out, along with Michelle Obama's garden that celebrated good health and thrift. 30 million Americans must lose healthcare "because Obama," and 100 years of global alliances must be discarded and replaced with Trump's autocrats.

The garden isn't a small thing. It's just one more way the Trumps have demonstrated that they don't respect their predecessors and have no interest in being an American presidential family. They act like they are a royal family, free to take what they want and do as they please.

Joe Biden might win the election just by promising to be an "American president." At least the things he would dismantle while in office are the bizarre ideas Trump has, sadly, standardized in the Republican Party about what being president means.
