The National Garden of American Heroes.
Do you know what that is?
Basically, ever since 2020 with like the George Floyd protests and then the subsequent like a lot of left wing activists calling for statues to be torn down of people like Christopher Columbus.
Confederate leaders, people like that, you know, right wing racists.
Trump has been trying to build for six years the National Garden of American Heroes.
It's a sculpture garden of people he personally admires.
It's a Trump art project that he's he's actually through multiple executive orders attempted to get this done.
It's still you guys can read the whole Wikipedia page.
It's nuts.
And thousands and thousands and thousands of careers and lives in arts and culture were destroyed in pursuit of building the National Garden of American Heroes.
Yeah.
I have to laugh because I'm going to cry if I don't, Crystal.
Yeah.
Reality has put the onion out of business.
What do we take away from this?
Right.
Like what's our conclusion here?
I wrote my thesis here.
It's offensive enough that a 20 something year old white guy would get a high ranking position in a federal office with no qualifications and no experience.
It's reprehensible, however, that the specific job these young men were in charge of was upending the lives and destroying the careers of women, people of color, queer people, etc., who they believed were unqualified and being offered special privileges on the basis of their identity.
