Trump Promotes Lawn Care Like It’s a Presidential Policy Initiative
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump praised Scotts Miracle-Gro in the Oval Office on Monday for providing free lawn services.
- •The company donated $1 million to restore the White House South Lawn after the June 14 UFC fight event.
- •Ethics experts criticized the blending of government favors with personal endorsements and PAC contributions.
On a Monday that probably could've been spent doing literally anything else, Donald Trump held court in the Oval Office to promote Scotts Miracle-Gro, calling their turf 'great grass' because apparently presidential endorsements now include fertilizers. The Ohio-based company donated a shiny $1 million to National Parks to restore the White House South Lawn post-UFC Birthday Brawl (June 14, 2026, Trump’s 80th). Trump proudly admitted accepting free lawn work from a 'friend' with the enthusiasm of a bargain hunter at a garage sale. Ethics experts yawned at the latest in Trump’s ongoing one-man infomercial series, recalling how past presidents wouldn’t dream of pimping free landscaping but hey, 'favors eventually turn into invoices!' Scotts also funneled a comfy $500,000 into a pro-Trump PAC in 2024, suggesting grass isn’t their only thing growing.
