I am, quite frankly, very surprised that Trump did not include any of the Confederate heroes in his Garden of Delights. I figured he would have at least tried to sneak in Bobby Lee if not Nathan Bedford Forrest.

But failing those kinds of statues, why didn't he include Henry Ford? Trump could have spackled over Ford's intense racism and antisemitism (and devotion to the Nazis) by just blithering about how Ford made American industry the greatest in the world.

OK, “four bears” finished me, LOL.

When I think about this ridiculous National Garden idea I picture it as a perverse version of Disney’s Hall of Presidents. Maybe the statues should be animatronic, they can recite a lot of Lost Cause gibberish and flash the white power sign at visitors.
