It’s everyone’s dream to visit and tour the White House. Still, Melania Trump had to reschedule her spring White House garden tours due to planned protests in the National Mall. ‘This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all within proximity to public demonstrations planned near the White House,’ a release said.
Melania, who only attends selective public events, was last seen at an award show where she stunned the audience with a fantastic speech. The yearly White House tour, which was scheduled to be held on April 5, will now be held the next day.

As per sources, the sudden change had to be planned due to a series of Hands-on rallies to oppose President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Trump administration created the new department on January 25, 2025, to modernize federal technology and focus on cost-cutting. Few reports claim that former President Obama made this department in 2014 under the name United States Digital Service (USDS) and Trump just renamed it, but it’s not entirely true.
Elon Musk is the new leader of DOGE, who’s more like an advisor to the government at this point, and together, they have been affected by the DOGE and its mass firings. While the Department of Government Efficiency was tasked with cutting out unnecessary/ excessive spending, its recent moves have affected the program. Hence, these rallies will be held to push back on the policies that have caused problems for several citizens.

Several people were shockingly laid off overnight over emails; they had their benefits and much more snatched from them; hence, protesters are told to gather at the Sylvan Theater in Washington, D.C., at 11 am, where the largest rally will be held. Meanwhile, the iconic White House garden tours that are offered to Americans annually had to be postponed, sadly. Guests will tour the White House race garden, former First Lady Michelle Obama’s kitchen garden, and other beautiful plantings on the south lawn.
As per the Daily Mail, this is the first big public protest against Elon Musk and Trump’s rule. As per the website for the demonstration, The rally is being held to stop the power grab in modern history. “Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies are waging an all-out attack on our government, economy, and basic rights—backed by Congress at every turn,” the site claimed.
“Their goal is to strip America of its resources—shutting down Social Security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections, and slashing Medicaid—all to fund their billionaire tax scheme,” it continued.
The event on Sunday is expected to feature Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Maxwell Frost, along with leaders from several prominent left-leaning organizations. Meanwhile, amidst all the chaos, in another moment, Donald Trump reportedly told some members of his team that Elon Musk would be out soon. While we are sure this move would spark even more chaos in the existing drama,
The White House clarified that Musk was always meant to be a special serving employee with a 130-day limit on federal service. When it comes to Trump, the truth appears to deceive people at most times; we aren’t quite surprised by everything we mentioned above, are you?
