Trump’s Revitalization of DC Monuments Shows That Decline is a Choice

“All D.C. needed was President Trump!

That was Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum on X celebrating the renovation of the Columbus Circle fountain in the District of Columbia after decades of neglect and more recent abuse.

All D.C. needed was President Trump! After years of neglect under Biden, @POTUS brought life back to one of our capital's most visible public spaces, restoring flowing water to the Columbus Circle fountain after 2 DECADES! Decline is a choice. @POTUS is choosing differently. pic.twitter.com/kReA9FYQ7g— Secretary Doug Burgum (@SecretaryBurgum) May 29, 2026

Maybe this seems like a small thing. It’s just an old fountain. What is that compared to the state of the economy, or matters of war and peace?

But I’d argue that the Trump administration’s attempted revitalization of Washington is essential to the success of the “Make America Great Again.”

It’s not just one fountain. What President Donald Trump is doing is clearly part of a larger effort to show America that our capital city doesn’t have to be a crime-ridden dump, that it can maintain something more enriching and worthwhile than blocks of hideous millennial housing for swarms of lobbyists and NGO staffers.

The other projects taking place around Washington are equally if not more impressive than the fountain at Columbus Circle in front of Union Station.

I lived a few blocks away from Meridian Hill Park in the northwest part of the city for years. It was pleasant........
