"If You Are Grass, You Are Very Happy": Trump Shows Off White House Grounds Work

President Donald Trump offered a guided tour to journalists at the White House on Wednesday to show off progress on the new granite helipad in the South Lawn.

During the walk, the president stopped in front of areas of freshly turned soil and began detailing the exhaustive grounds restoration process, explaining that a layer of topsoil had been used to revitalize the surrounding area.

"You know, grass has life just like humans," he said, noting that in the next "two or three weeks" the newly planted grass would go through an adaptation period but would then fully recover thanks to the work carried out.

Finally, Trump justified the intervention on the grounds by mentioning their deteriorated condition. "If you remember, there were large sunken areas here and it was in pretty bad shape," he indicated, then guaranteed that in a few weeks the area would look beautiful because "this grass is of the highest quality."
