“My grandmother saw America in full colour — Trump sees black and white. Where she planted flowers, he poured concrete,” the post starts.
“She brought life to the White House, because our landmarks should inspire and grow with our country.”

White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement to People Magazine that the president was “working 24/7 to Make America Great Again, including his historic beautification of the White House, at no taxpayer expense.”
“These long-needed upgrades will benefit generations of future presidents and American visitors to the People’s House.”
