Doug Burgum: Trump's Restorations of Fountains, Monuments, and Parks Show Squalor Is a ‘Choice'
2026-06-03
[Breitbart] So true.

“Credit goes to President Trump and his leadership,” Burgum said, discussing the improvements President Trump has made to D.C. ahead of the nation’s semiquincentennial. The nation’s capital is one of the “bluest of blue big metros in the country,” he said, noting that registered Republicans for the area clock in around five percent.

“In a city where — across the whole city — all these pocket parks, circle parks, triangle parks, city parks are all run by the National Park Service. So, President Trump just said we don’t have to accept squalor and homelessness. We don’t have to accept rundown graffiti-laden sites, and so under President Trump’s leadership, you know, we’ve removed 152 homeless camps,” he said, adding that the establishment media has ignored the fact that these homeless individuals have been taken care of and provided services as well.

“You can come every day. It’s public space. You just can’t live here, and we’re going to help you find someplace else to live, so that’s, you know, taken care of without controversy, without news, and then getting in and cleaning up some of these places, restoring fountains that haven’t worked for decades,” he said, adding that President Trump said he received more “love letters” about the fountains being restored than anything he’s ever done as president.

“Because residents of D.C., from whatever party, whatever political affiliation, they understand that beauty is a choice. This is a beautiful city with beautiful monuments, and heading into our 250th anniversary, President Trump cares deeply,” Burgum said.
