Biden cancels Trump’s planned ‘Garden of American Heroes’

President Joe Biden on Friday placed the reject on his predecessor's planned "National Garden of American Heroes" and revoked former President Donald Trump's executive orders targeting social media companies' moderation policies and the US foreign aid brand.

In an executive order, Biden abolished the Trump-shaped task force to create the new monument, which the former president proposed last year. It would have contained sculptures of dozens of American historical figures, including presidents, athletes and pop culture icons, proposed by Trump as "a large outdoor park that will contain the statues of the greatest Americans to date."

Trump himself compiled the list of 30-plus, which includes Davy Crockett, Billy Graham, Whitney Houston, Harriet Tubman and Antonin Scalia, but no site was selected and the garden was never funded by Congress.

Trump has repeatedly condemned the desecration and overthrow of historic statues by protesters during protests against racial inequality and police cruelty following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year.

"We will grow the next generation of American patriots," Trump said during a speech at Mount Rushmore last year announcing his idea for the garden. 'We will write the next exciting chapter of American experience. And we will prepare our children to understand that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can hold them back and that no one can sustain them. ”

According to Trump's executive order to establish the garden, monuments to former presidents, individuals and events related to the European discovery of North America, the founding of the United States and the abolition of slavery should be given priority.

"No one will have lived perfect lives, but all will be worth honoring, remembering and studying," reads the order now canceled.
