President Trump called out a “stupid” White House subcontractor Saturday, who he says damaged stonework in the Rose Garden during a renovation to the outdoor area.
The Commander in Chief shared security camera footage of the alleged incident on Truth Social — calling foul on workers who he says caused a huge gash in custom stonework in the vaunted garden.
“Surfaces are very important to me as a Builder. As everyone knows,” Trump wrote on his social media app on Saturday. “The Rose Garden is completed, and far more beautiful than anyone ever had in mind when it was conceived of, decades ago.”
“Three days ago, while admiring the stonework, I happened to notice a huge gash in the limestone that extended more than 25 yards long,” the president wrote, adding, “It was deep and nasty!”
In the post, Trump shared security footage of the “stupid people” employed by an unnamed subcontractor who cracked the stonework while transporting a shrubbery on a steel cart.
Trump also blasted the workers “boss” who was “watching (in sunglasses!)” as the “beautiful stone” was cracked.
“I love and respect great workers and contractors, but something like this should never happen. Now I’ll replace the stone, charge the contractor, and never let that contractor work at the White House again,” he wrote.
“We caught them, cold. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,” the president concluded.
It is not immediately clear on what date the damage occurred.
