Trump’s Statue Revamp of the Rose Garden | US News

The White House Rose Garden is getting a major makeover — not with flowers, but with statues. President Trump has installed bronze figures of American icons like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin, turning the historic space into a gallery of his vision. The Jefferson statue, gifted by sculptor George Lundeen, arrived late for July Fourth but impressed the president so much he had it placed immediately — even leaving a voicemail to thank the artist. Other statues, including “Freedom’s Charge,” were relocated or donated anonymously, while the Washington statue came from Republican donor Harlan Crow. This isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s part of Trump’s broader plan to reshape federal grounds with a National Garden of American Heroes featuring 250 figures. It’s a bold statement: history, art, and presidential legacy reimagined in marble and bronze. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
