Trump Tours Monument He's Repaired and Reclaimed for America
By Nick AramaPresident Donald Trump has been busy trying to clean up and fix the National Park monuments and fountains that have been left in disrepair for so long, so they are in good condition for America 250.
Rather than supporting that, Democrats who seem to have a problem with basic American patriotism have tried to attack the effort at every turn. Not only did prior Democratic administrations leave things in disrepair, but it was leftist activists who damaged some of the monuments over the years.
Trump was out with Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, checking out the repairs to Lafayette Park and the Andrew Jackson statue.

The historic cannons had been damaged and had just been put back this month after more than 5 years. The park has faced a lot of damage over the years. In 2020, for example, leftists sprayed graffiti all over the base of the statue. They even threw ropes and chains around it, trying to pull it down, but were unsuccessful. You can see some of the damage from then in the above-featured picture for this story. And that's just some of the damage the park has faced over the years. Trump also repaired the fountains in the park, and he celebrated that they were finally working.
Looking good:
