What happened
Trump signed the order again in January 2025 and tied the garden to the nation's 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026. That date passed with no garden built: a site in South Dakota was still under discussion, funding remained partial, and statue commissions were only beginning. PolitiFact kept the promise in the unfulfilled column.
