(May 12, 2025) — In 2047, the biggest, most beautiful monument in Washington, DC began construction. It was dedicated to the third of the many Presidents who had saved the Union from collapse.
The first one was a man of exceptional courage who possessed the unworldly tenacity to transform the concept of America into a reality, while sacrificing the blood of willing fellow patriots for the cause. His army of detractors, naysayers and British Loyalists would have caused an ordinary man to concede and crawl home in ignominious defeat, but he stood tall and persevered. Who else would have crossed the icy Delaware River on Christmas Eve with a ragtag scraggly “army” to fight the superior disciplined Hessian army and win? If there ever was a need for the proof of a god, then here it is right in your face.
George Washington, our first American President, won America not only by ideology but through arms. The greatest country in the history of the world was born, and America expressed its gratitude by erecting the Washington Monument. No monument should ever be taller, not even by one inch.
The second President who saved the Union was Abraham Lincoln. The hatred found in today’s lack of discourse is nothing in comparison to the ripping apart of the United States into the stupidity of the Confederacy by unreasoning Southern States. Slavery was a major cause of this debacle but not the only one. Until Lincoln finally found effective military leaders, America teetered into permanent division which would have transformed itself into a second- or third-rate insignificant country. Words couldn’t stop Lincoln from healing the rift of America, but a bullet slowed it down for decades. President Lincoln won at the cost of his own life. That is why there is a Lincoln Memorial rather than a Lincoln Monument.
We now come to the third greatest President, President Trump. He entered into his second term of office after the previous traitorous, criminal crime boss President, also known as “The Big Guy,” who was on the take and riddled with dementia, had done everything in his power to destroy America. President Trump is like any other great executive who knows the unpopular power of saying “No!” when their organization is teetering on bankruptcy and ruin. Most politicians just go with the flow, but President Trump understands that the Western Democracies are on the verge of extinction after allowing armies of Illegals across their borders while bowing down to the rising boot of China. Trump didn’t sleep through history class and recognizes how the Roman Empire fell. President Trump is unafraid of both external and internal enemies and is combating the rot within America. The Uniparty wants perpetual war for profit, but President Trump has undertaken the search for peace through negotiation backed by military strength.
Today is the perfect example of President Trump’s greatness. On this single day, President Trump has:
- Negotiated a trade deal with China that will lead to global free trade.
- Signed an EO that will lower the exorbitant drug prices that Americans are forced to pay.
- Freed the last remaining living American hostage from the Hamas Barbarians.
- Forced Putin to meet with Zelenskyy in Turkey to stop the Ukraine War.
- Gotten nuclear Pakistan and nuclear India to agree to a ceasefire.
- Flown to Saudi Arabia for Iran disarmament and repair of the state of the Middle East.
- Caused the stock market to rise 1,000 points.
Not bad work for one day. Sleepy Joe Biden would have just slumped into his beach chair.
This is why America began construction of the Trump Monument in 2047 to say thank you for MAGA. It will be an exact replica of and stand aside the Washington Monument. Because no American can ever be greater than George Washington, who gave birth to America, the Trump Monument will be one foot shorter than the Washington Monument. Washington gave us America while both Lincoln and Trump saved America.
Say hello to a one big, beautiful monument.

Good article Tom, however, shouldn’t the date for construction of The Washington Monument be 1848? (Rather than 2047).
Oops, I re-read it and I see your point on the 2047 date.
Thank you Tom for this uplifting piece! Your comparisons are spot on and a reminder that truly great American presidents don’t come around very often but once maybe once in a lifetime, if that. I’m just grateful to be living during Trump’s MAGA presidency!
Although America has a way to go in order to declare victory over the deep states goal of destroying our Constitutional Republic DJT deserves a monument and our eternal gratitude for the MAGA Movement.
DJT has slowed the drum beating towards WWIII. Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
47 has paid a steep price but he shows no sign of throwing in the towel.
DJT not perfect but he is among our top three Presidents.
Don’t forget banning paper straws as a monumental achievement
