Trump issues exec order about that Heroes Garden that will never be built
Trump released an executive order Monday, building on an earlier executive order he signed in July, touting his plans for the garden.
"The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. ... the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America's past will be remembered," Trump wrote in Monday's order.
"Across this Nation," the order continues, "belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country's history, institutions, and very identity."
It adds: "On its grounds, the devastation and discord of the moment will be overcome with abiding love of country and lasting patriotism. This is the American way. When the forces of anti-Americanism have sought to burn, tear down, and destroy, patriots have built, rebuilt, and lifted up. That is our history."

In mentioning "discord of the moment," Trump makes no mention of his own supporters who violently stormed the Capitol earlier this month as Congress was counting electoral votes.
