Trump’s push to restore American ‘heroes’ gets $30 million boost

Stephen Dinan, Washington Times

Buried beneath his multitude of policy fights is President Trump’s quiet pursuit of a longtime

passion: reviving traditional views of American history and its heroes. Executive orders have sent officials scrambling to restore monuments torn down by Black Lives Matter protests, to create a sculpture garden celebrating “American heroes” and to revive the classical architecture of federal buildings. Mr. Trump wants the statue garden ready for next year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
