Trump Inspects New Speakers in Renovated White House Garden
President Trump checked out the new sound system in the recently redone Rose Garden at the White House.
The garden now has tiles instead of grass in the middle, and has fancy seating.
Trump decided to change the garden after he returned to office, saying the old grass made events difficult.
The renovated garden was shown off on August 1, and the National Park Service helped with the work.
A new drainage system was also added to keep water from collecting.
