"Locating the garden near the Tidal Basin would be another significant change to the Washington landscape during President Donald Trump’s second term."
"President Donald Trump said Friday that he plans to build a statue garden of “American heroes” at a park location along the Potomac River near the Tidal Basin in Washington.
In a social media post, Trump said the “National Garden of American Heroes” would be placed in West Potomac Park, a National Park Service site that currently hosts a range of athletic fields between the Potomac River and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
Trump said the current site is a “totally BARREN field of Prime Waterfront Real Estate” that he would improve with “one of my great projects.”"
