Melania Trump Orders White House Magnolia Tree Removed

According to the Leftist media, Melania Trump is a horrible person, so horrible that she ordered the removal of a 200-year-old tree from the White House grounds. It's the oldest tree at the White House, but Melania is getting rid of it.

News of Melania Trump's demand was plastered all over the place yesterday. Later, the Leftist outlets had to adjust their ridiculous spin.

The updated story from Newsweek:

Updated | The historic Jackson magnolia has been on the south facade of the White House since the 1800s—making it the oldest on the grounds. But Tuesday, Melania Trump reportedly made the decision to have it removed after tree specialists determined “the overall architecture and structure of the tree is greatly compromised,” the report stated, according to CNN.

CNN obtained documents from 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.

The document said, “Without the extensive cabling system, the tree would have fallen years ago. Presently, and very concerning, the cabling system is failing on the east trunk, as a cable has pulled through the very thin layer of wood that remains. It is difficult to predict when and how many more will fail.”

In other words, Melania Trump isn't insisting an old tree be chopped down on a whim.

Specialists at the United States National Arboretum made the determination that the tree must be removed, not the First Lady.

This is why we don't believe the liberal media. They cannot be trusted.
