President Donald Trump returned to the United States on Friday morning after a high-stakes trip to China. It didn’t take long for Trump to share a myriad of updates on the trip to Truth Social. “I am proud to announce the site of the NATIONAL GARDEN OF AMERICAN HEROES. This magnificent exhibition of statues will be located in West Potomac Park, which we are transforming into one of the World’s most beautiful public spaces,” Trump began. “Right now, it is a totally BARREN field of Prime Waterfront Real Estate along our Mighty Potomac River,” he said. “When finished, West Potomac Park will be a World Class Masterpiece with elegant Landscaping, and adorned with Beautiful Statues, and be yet another one of my great projects to make Washington, D.C., the Safest and Most Beautiful Capital in the World,” Trump wrote.
“The National Garden of American Heroes will feature the MOST BEAUTIFUL collection of statues of AMERICAN HEROES, featuring our Illustrious Founding Fathers, Military Warriors, Religious Leaders, Civil Rights Champions, World Class Athletes, Artists, Entertainers, and MORE,” he continued. “The people of America (and the World!) will come here to learn and be inspired by the “Greats”. The National Garden of American Heroes is one more project we are undertaking to honor the 250th Birthday of the Greatest Nation on Earth, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president concluded.
Trump then posted a photo of the golden statue of himself that was unveiled last month at the Trump National Doral Miami resort. “This is a statue, now standing at Doral, that was commissioned by a large group of political supporters who just wanted a statue of yours truly. I very much appreciate their support, and all that they went through to get it done!” Trump wrote. “They are very good people. Those playing the Blue Monster, at Doral, are absolutely in love with it. Congratulations to all involved. With time, it will become a Landmark! President DJT,” he added.
Trump Discusses White House and China
Trump also took an opportunity to touch on one of his favorite topics, the White House ballroom, saying that “China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A.!”: “China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A.! It’s under construction, ahead of schedule, and will be the finest facility of its kind anywhere in the U.S.A.,” Trump wrote. “Thank you for all the support I have been given in getting this project going. Scheduled opening will be around September of 2028. The man I am walking with is President Xi, of China, one of the World’s Great Leaders! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he added.
During a face-to-face meeting with the Chinese leader, Trump admitted to Xi that he often calls him “a great leader,” though he is sometimes criticized for doing so. “You are a great leader. I say it to everybody, you are a great leader. Sometimes people don’t like me saying it, but I say it because it’s true. I always say the truth,” Trump said.
Trump Extends White House Invitation to Xi
During a state dinner earlier, Trump invited Xi Jinping and his wife, Madam Peng, to visit the White House on September 24. Xi’s last visit to the White House was in September 2015, when he was hosted by President Barack Obama. Xi last visited the United States in November 2023, when he traveled to San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. During that visit, he met with then-President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the summit. Before his latest trip to Beijing, Trump last met with Xi in person at the APEC summit in South Korea in October 2025.
