Jack Schlossberg Condemns Reported Overhaul of White House Rose Garden and East Wing

The Instagram rebuke highlights concerns about work proceeding before a required planning submission.

Overview

  • Schlossberg posted archival and construction images, accusing President Trump of replacing Jacqueline Kennedy’s garden design with concrete.
  • Coverage describes the lawn being paved into a so‑called “Rose Garden Club” and reports say the East Wing was removed to make space for a proposed $300 million, 90,000‑square‑foot ballroom.
  • Reuters, cited in the reporting, says the National Capital Planning Commission has not yet received formal plans despite site work already taking place.
  • Schlossberg used the post to urge Americans to vote to “stop” Trump in the midterms, echoing his broader criticism of the administration.
  • Trump previously told One America News Network that presidents often lose midterms, and early YouGov/The Economist polling shows Democrats slightly ahead for 2026, while the White House has not responded to Schlossberg’s remarks.
