Trump Issues Executive Order of Names For National Garden of American Heroes

Recommended Posts

President Trump today signed an EO adding more detail to his planned National Garden of American Heroes. A location is still being studied.

Today's order lists the initial statues planned to recognize "an individual who made substantive contributions to America’s public life or otherwise had a substantive effect on America’s history.”

It is a list of 244 historical, military, scientific, business, and entertainment names. Either it will have to be a large garden or small statues.

Elvis? Whitney Houston? Alex Trebek?

Nah, with him it'll be Limbaugh, Hannity & Stormy Daniels.

And don't forget him.  He'll probably list himself and his grifter fam.

Hope Biden ditches the plan, then creates his own.  At least there would be deserving names on the list that way.

He does have Elvis, Whitney and Trebek in the EO's required list of statues I quoted. But no Limbaugh, Hannity, or Stormy yet. I think he at least looked for people who are deceased to list in the EO.

Let's get real. Trump doesn't even know who 90% of those people were.

I see they had to come out with a clarification that the William "Billy" Williams was the Army general and father of the Air Force, not the Donkey Kong player from "King of Kong"

:lol:

Billy-Mitchell-King-Of-Kong-Cheated-Bann

 

That's Billy Mitchell, and I think I heard he got caught cheating with his records.

Edit: nm, I guess he was absolved and his records were reinstated.

Oops. It was Billy MItchell listed. Didn't realize I wrote Billy Williams(Guess the cubs fan in me took over). I edited my post. Thanks for the catch. And yeah last I heard he lost every one of his records due to finding evidence of cheating. Haha.

One of my favorite documentaries. Such a clear villain with Billy. A better one couldn't have been written up in a regular movie. and the "protagonist" is such a likeable guy. It pulls you into this crazy, stupid world of video gamee world records and makes you care about it.

Ya, that was a great documentary! Really liked those retro arcade environments.

Ingrid Bergman? Lorenzo de Zavala? Junipero Serra? Christopher Columbus!?!?

Playing pretty fast and loose with "american" here

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Some are wondering if the Christopher Columbus on the list is the 1492 Columbus or the director of "Home Alone 2" (which had a Trump cameo appearance).
