Trump adds bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson to transformed White House Rose Garden

Donald Trump has transformed the White House Rose Garden, replacing much of its traditional lawn with a white stone patio and a growing collection of statues of America's founding fathers.

Trump put statues of some of America's founders in the garden just off the Oval Office after he replaced its plush lawn with a white stone patio, turning the historic outdoor space into a look-alike of the one at his Mar-a-Lago home

The statues are part of Trump’s sweeping series of White House renovations, from his gilded makeover of the Oval Office to ballroom and helipad.

During Trump's initial term, first lady Melania Trump arranged the placement of a work by Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi near the Rose Garden, marking the first inclusion of an Asian American artist in the White House collection
