Eisenhower vs. The Squirrels is a concept EP dealing with the feud between President Eisenhower and the White House Squirrels. President Eisenhower may not have loved squirrels, but he did love golf. In 1954, per the White House Museum, Eisenhower commissioned the creation of a putting green outside the Oval Office. The president hoped that the green would be the perfect place to unwind after a long day of running the country.

But to his dismay, his miniature golf getaway was quickly infested by Truman’s old friends, the eastern gray squirrels. The squirrels, per History, had the nasty habit of burying their acorns and walnuts throughout Eisenhower’s beloved putting green.
