“…the historical figures being honored portrays a sanitized version of American history.
The description of Martin Luther King Jr., for instance, praises the civil rights leader for having a ‘can-do’ spirit, but makes no direct mention of the racism that he fought.”
More garden of heroes reporting! Since last I indulged my obsession with this story, they've abandoned the idea this would be in North Dakota and moved it to Washington DC. Completely predictably it's over budget and behind schedule... www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
“Trump’s Vision for ‘Garden of Heroes’ Keeps Getting Bigger and Higher in Cost:
Plans for the project include formal gardens, reflecting pools and plazas alongside the statues of 250 notable Americans, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.” — www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
“Under the ‘journalists’ category, there are two honorees: Edward R. Murrow of CBS, and Alex Trebek, who hosted the game show ‘Jeopardy!’” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
When I was an associate at a law firm, my pro bono project was an enterprising soul who wanted to get 90 acres in DC for a garden for Frederick Douglass from the National Park Service, so I got exposed to how hard is to build anything in D.C. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u....
I trust Beavis and Butthead will have pride of place in this visionary scheme.

Another Trump vanity project. So much more important than health insurance, housing, gas,food. Right? He has spent most of his time thinking of ways to immortalize his name while his corrupt, racist and Christian Nationalist sycophants destroy democracy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
Based on the latest renderings, the Garden of Heroes could rank among the more expensive and time-consuming projects Mr. Trump has undertaken as he works to remake the nation’s capital in his own style.
The statues alone could cost more than the $40 million.

More stories about his idiotic grandiose plans should mention that he promised to build "new Freedom Cities" on federal land to give "countless Americans a new shot at home ownership" -- not this.
❗️SOMEONE TAKE OUR MONEY AWAY FROM TRUMP❗️
Trump’s vision for the National Garden of American Heroes in West Potomac Park is growing & likely more expensive adding reflecting pools, dining facilities & an amphitheater alongside the 250 statues of notable Americans.

This is beyond ridiculous and must stop. The GOP claims to be the party of fiscal responsibility, yet is allowing the president to spend who knows how much on these tacky, embarrassing vanity projects.

Trump is turning the White House, and the White House grounds into an expensive and gawdy reflection of himself. His ego and megalomania are just too much and need to be stopped.

I’d LOVE to See His Personal Picks for His
Garden of Heroes!
Somehow I had missed this whole plan:$ for farmers, veterans, infrastructure, education used instead to Trumpify the rest of DC

While Americans can't pay for healthcare, rent, food, let alone vacations to visit the Capital, this egomaniac--with no fresh or innovative aesthetic taste--keeps wasting taxpayer money on stupid projects like this. P.S. still can't find the corporate donations to his presidential library.
For you "I won't vote for anyone who doesn't tear it all down," please be realistic about how difficult that will be, and how much the Rs, and a lot of Ds, will throw fits the second anyone even tries. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...

Didn't he say the govt couldn't help with things like medicare, medicaid, childcare? Yet here he is throwing millions at a garden of heroes which will include (I'm certain) a statue of him
www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u... From the fountain of dumb, demented ideas, I give you the dumbest one. How much more time and money can this fucking idiot waste, while Americans are hurting?!

WTH? In a time when the national debt is doubling, we have rising prices, unaffordable housing, food, education, healthcare, a shrinking job market. We sure don't need more extravagance he can name after himself. (Insane and OUT OF TOUCH)
WTF-does he really think the US Treasury is a bottomless pit. People are losing health insurance, food assistance, gas prices and food prices are way up and this is what he thinks about. MAGA has given us the Crazy King George of Presidents. He is out of his mind and out of touch with reality.
At a time when Americans are worried about their jobs and rising prices, this guy is focusing on a ballroom and a garden. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/u...
JFC: The garish plans just get more expensive & uglier.

This is straight up Kaiser Wilhem II shit, I've always thought there were a lot of historical similarities. Leaders with no leadership qualities who love to hear themselves talk
🫵Americans know that this cretin is abusing his power and wasting taxpayers' money in unnecessary absurdities and extravagances...
This is why he is trying to rig the elections because not all American are brainless magats...
