BS: Melania & South Lawn at the White House

I wonder what uses Melania or Ivanka will have for the South Lawn?
"... the South Lawn has changed over the decades, put to use for various purposes at the direction of not just the Presidents but the First Ladies."
to your post:


"..... [Michelle Obama's]  "Let's Move!"  program, intended to improve the diet and awareness of food consumed by children that she began it by creating a White House vegetable garden there.

Throughout the course of each year, she has not merely sponsored but herself participated in the soil preparation, seed planting, cultivation and harvesting of a surprising large yield of freshly-grown vegetables, alongside groups of schoolchildren."

I suspect the Trump women will have about as much use for the South Lawn as Eva Gabor's character in the old "Green Acres" television program had for a corn field.

I also don't foresee the Trumps availing themselves of the rustic amenities of Camp David on a regular basis.

As long a Trumpy declines the temptation to turn it into a golf course?

Those Trump Women will aerate the South Lawn with their stiletto heels. Good for the ground, you know....

Will the US be run from the White House or Trump Tower?

Isn't Melania a strange name? It sounds like some sort of tropical disease. ('They were airlifted to hospital suffering from acute melania...')

Her name is the least of anyone's problems. I suspect the garden will return to pampered turf grass, possibly with a putting green for The Donald, chemical fertilizers and all.

Melania's not really a strange name, just a bit uncommon in the US. It's the Slavic equivalent of Melanie.

And Ivanka and Ivana are feminine forms of Ivan which is the Slavic equivalent of John. That makes them roughly analogous to Joan.
