"WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington's hottest club has everything - Cabinet secretaries, a new stone patio, food from the White House kitchen and even a playlist curated by President Donald Trump. But good luck getting a spot on the guest list. So far, only some of the president's political allies, business executives and administration officials have been invited. In Trump's remake of the White House, the Rose Garden is now the Rose Garden Club,"
"Trump debuted the name during his first formal dinner there this month and has included it on his official public schedule, too. He hosted another event Wednesday evening with members of his Cabinet and senior staff, according to an official who wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The event went off despite rain earlier in the evening. It was closed to the press, but an aide posted video of the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon performing on the South Lawn."
The Rose Garden has been renamed the Rose Garden Club and functions as an exclusive venue for political allies, business executives, and administration officials. Events there feature a new stone patio, food from the White House kitchen, and a playlist curated by President Donald Trump. The name debuted during a formal dinner and appears on the official public schedule. Some events are closed to the press, though aides have posted videos of performances such as the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. The lawn was framed as a taxpayer-supported imitation of Mar-a-Lago and represents an unprecedented rebranding of a traditional presidential space.
