REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC





(Idiomatic) To do something pointless or insignificant that will soon be overtaken by events, or that contributes nothing to the solution of a current problem.

I had to laugh when I read that Melania Trump has organised a revamp of the White House rose garden and this has been unveiled prior to the Republican Party's conference.






The Titanic certainly came to mind.

"Good for her" you say?

So I guess, in your world, destroying a garden that was created by Jacquie Kennedy ( a Democrat) and replacing with one that only has white flowers is a good thing?
All this as a distraction from the elections fiasco and, in the middle of a pandemic is a little tone deaf but, then again, so are you.
