UFC President Dana White visited the White House Rose Garden recently and came away with a surprising complaint – the place is overrun with gnats. White, a longtime supporter of President Trump, shared the story during an interview on the Boardroom podcast, saying he had been invited to dinner by Trump two nights prior. When he stepped into the Rose Garden, he was taken aback by the sheer number of gnats flying around, exclaiming, “Holy s–t.”
The Rose Garden was renovated last year as part of Trump’s broader makeover of the White House. Inspired by his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump had the grass portion converted into a patio space. The change appears to have come with some unintended consequences, as the gnat problem has since become noticeable.
