Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump's EO not only creates garden of statues but statues of former presidents outside public bldgs
and in places where statues have been torn down.
So this could be Trump's way of trying to get statues of himself set up wherever statues were torn down recently.

They'll need to put Trump's statue near the landscaper's water nozzle to wash the urine off of it.

10th president, and the first to assume office on the death of an elected president. Tyler was known during his term as "His Accidency"; he was later elected to the Confederate congress. He also married a much younger trophy wife - sounds like Donald's kind of guy.

openly racist, and traitorous president would not stand for long.
