A noble 200 year old tree. Actually making his wife do it!

This is the most disingenuous headline ever. The tree is already dead.

How fricking slanted can you get? This is indefensible.

Title:
quote:

MELANIA TRUMP ORDERS REMOVAL OF NEAR-200-YEAR-OLD TREE FROM WHITE HOUSE


First Paragraph:
quote:

But Tuesday, Melania Trump reportedly made the decision to have it removed


REALITY:
quote:

specialists at the United States National Arboretum, which determined the magnolia tree must be removed. The tree is “completely dependent on artificial support,” the document read.

quote:

The tree was about to fall, and experts recommended its removal. Mrs. Trump, according to Grisham, has requested to preserve the wood from the tree.

Melanie Trump orders removal of ... tree from White House.

vs.

Melanie Trump decides historic tree too frail to remain at White House.



I love these new prog/sjw/libtard journalists. They never miss an opportunity.

I say leave it up. A reporter on Fox this morning said the tree is where the media gather while waiting for the President to come out and make his WH speeches outside.

I see a lot of irony there for leaving the tree as is.

I saw a close up of the trunk. It was rotting at the base. That tree should have been cut down years ago.

Of course it is. Experts recommended it needed to be cut down. In fact, they took seedlings from it months ago and have been growing the replacement while they checked to see if there was anything that could be done.

Melania has also had wood from the tree itself preserved.

Are you fricking retarded?

Yes. It would be like putting the name of the doctor who pulled the plug in an obituary. No need for it, and is only out there to cast in a bad light

It's really unbelievable the headline - just unbelievable.

How stupid do they think the American public is? Glad to see even some liberal commenters on HuffPo call them out for their bias.

I heard this on NPR news last night. Wife and I looked at each other with puzzled face....and? Is there more to the story?

Media has gone beyond crazy at this point.

First they came to cut the taxes and I did not protest because I wasn't a tax

Then they came to cut the trees and I did not speak up because I wasn't a tree

Please allow a me a moment to share a pet peeve of mine. I call it 'Old People Tree Syndrome.'

It is common knowledge among arborists that elderly home owners become paranoid about trees near their house so they have perfectly healthy trees taken down.

I have 120 very large trees in my 1.3 acre yard. That's dense. I love it. The trees were here in natural forest when I built the home among them.

I have watched my neighbors (all elderly) have crews come in and take down any tree that is within falling distance of their roof.

These trees are going to outlive me by 100 years. I want the next owner of my home to enjoy what I have enjoyed all these years. If a tree falls on me in a storm and kills me I can't think of a better way to go.

Melania should announce that since the tree was planted by Andrew Jackson and since Jackson owned slaves, the tree has to come down.

Tree-hugging libtards' heads would explode.
