I know the list is alphabetical and many of you have already noted him, but Billy Graham sandwiched between Franklin and Hamilton rubs me wrong every which way possible.

This is just uncovering the problems with lists that JB has complained about in the past. :)

No, you don't get it. It's a yuge and great list because it was MADE by Trump. So it's automatically the best possible list, there's never been such a list... in fact, we didn't even know they were heroes until Trump pointed them out to us, because Trump's judgment is so, is so, no one's ever had a brain like his and his judging is the best ever in the United States, so he deserves to be on the list for creating it, it's really great, and no one's ever been a hero like Trump for pointing out these heroes that no one knew about.

If he's not acknowledged, then the list won't be worth reading. Since he made it. Aren't. We. Lucky.

If anyone thinks the first statue that goes up WON’T be Trump, they’re
deluding themselves.

Billy Graham and Antonin Scalia were the two that stuck out to me, and the ones I would absolutely refuse to have in that "garden."

But it's irrelevant. This thing will never be built, because the House will never appropriate money for it, the Senate Dems will never vote to okay it, and Trump won't be in office long enough to do so much as break ground. It's aspirational... which means it'll be thrown in the trash a second after he's out of office.

Scalia was a hack and a punk, but short of gross misconduct I didn't have a principled opposition to honoring justices I disagree with. I wonder if history will regard Scalia's hostility towards "homosexualists" with the same opprobrium it regards James C. McReynolds's antisemitism?

This is all bullshit designed to move the conversation away from a hundred other terrible things for which this administration is culpable including (but not limited to) the staggering ineptitude in dealing with a pandemic that has already resulted in nearly 130,000 Americans dead in just five months and the non-reaction to a bounty system paid for by Russia to the Taliban to murder American soldiers that the White House has known about since at least February.  Don't give it any more air than it deserves, which is to say...none.

Any women on his “list”?

I mean any women who have NOT appeared nude in Playboy or Hustler?
