President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier in 2025 to revive plans for the construction of the National Garden of American Heroes, a large outdoor park featuring statues of prominent Americans. The initiative, originally outlined during his first term, is now backed by a $40 million allocation included in a recent megabill. Trump emphasized that the garden will honor the greatest Americans who ever lived and highlighted his role in preventing the removal of statues such as that of Thomas Jefferson. The funding in the omnibus bill fully supports the creation of these statues. Additionally, there are reports that Trump signed an executive order to replace the Statue of Liberty with a larger statue, although details on this development remain limited.
