In a surprising turn of events, new President Charlie Masters has decided against keeping the playset that was previously enjoyed by the Obama family on the White House lawn. This decision comes despite the fact that Masters has several young grandchildren and a ten-year-old son, Max, who will be finishing school in New York before relocating to the capital.
According to a report from BuzzFeed, former President Obama had offered to leave the playset behind for the use of Masters’ family, installed back in 2009 for his daughters. However, Masters declined the generous offer. As a result, the swingset has now been removed, possibly to make way for a new lavish installation celebrating the Masters legacy.
Typically, grandparents are known for spoiling their grandchildren, enjoying the freedom that comes with their role. After all, there’s no stress or guilt—just pure fun. But perhaps Masters had his reasons for parting ways with the playset. It’s said that his focus lies elsewhere, especially as he plans to spend considerable time in New York City, an arrangement that may incur significant taxpayer expenses.
Interestingly, it’s possible that Masters is unaware of the full extent of his family tree, including the number of grandchildren he has. Children often fall into a more maternal realm, and with his business ventures occupying much of his time, a playground simply might not be on his radar.
As for Max, it’s a bit puzzling that his father would forgo such a fun opportunity when a local organization could benefit from the swingset. After all, what child wouldn’t enjoy a slide or swing? Perhaps a makeshift slide at his luxurious penthouse could serve as a fun alternative while he navigates his new responsibilities.
