establishing a statuary park named the “National Garden of American Heroes,” which will include statues of authors, musicians, inventors, past presidents and civil rights leaders.
Trebek, originally from Sudbury, Ont., is best known for hosting the television game show ‘Jeopardy!” for 34 seasons before. Though Trebek is a Canadian, he became a U.S. citizen in 1997. “Each individual has been chosen for embodying the American spirit of daring and defiance, excellence and adventure, courage and confidence, loyalty and love,” the executive order states. “Astounding the world by the sheer power of their example, each one of them has contributed indispensably to America’s noble history, the best chapters of which are still to come.”in response toseveral monuments across the U.S.
I wonder how Alex would feel about this. I mean what if Trump puts Steve Bannon or David Duke in the garden ...or worse..like himself 😱
Holy heck the world doesn't make sense anymore lol. He is literally one of the most reknowned Canadians both here and abroad. Trump makes such a fool of himself.
American hero?..somebody tell Trump that Alex is Canadian.
A Canadian featured in an “American heroes” garden.... only in Trump’s world 🤦♂️
Kinda ironic as don't think Trump could answer even one of the questions unless it was a question about Trump. Maybe we can fool in on the show to confess to his crimes live
What is, no fuckin thank you for 3000
I'd bet he'd decline
I'm sure he would have loved this. 🙄🙄🙄
No
Ya he's ours Trump sorry
I’m sure his family will have plenty to say about how that won’t happen!
you really think Alex wouldve seen this as an honor, from this lunatic?
This garden will never materialized.
trump just signed an order establishing a park - that hasn't been built or location determined... as he's going out the door. I'm doubtful that a new administration is going to follow through on that too-little-too-late idea. Especially when they can finally review the financials
Somebody tell him he is 🇨🇦
trumpkin never watched jeopardy cause you need to know stuff
Nice to see Trump honor a Canadian.
Fortunately, Trump will be gone in a matter of hours so this type of nonsense can end. Maybe he plans it for the lawn at Mar-a-Lago, privately funded. Another way to rip people off
Oh the irony. For sure Mr. Trebek was very special to many people (+me) for his intelligence, wit, warmth + gentlemanliness. While he may have become an American citizen, he was staunchly Canadian (eh): at least 1 if not 2 questions per show were re Canada AlexTrebek
Goldena10235 123 Alex t. Jehovah Rappa the lord who heals with winning hand of God// God does things Alex. God is going to do some great things that'll brighten your day. Being chosen 1 you'll like God looks & sees you need an imagination + giggles love and laughter
He is freaking Canadian, lol
He is Canadian by the way
What did he do to make him a hero ?
Oh please! Alex Trebek was far too great, and humble, a man to ever want a place in Trump's statue garden. What an insult!!! I hope his wife has some say in that!
Hearing this I’m actually just stunned and speechless. The level of trump’s stupidity seems to lower all the time. But I think to be fair there are a lot of Americans who believe Alex is American.
He's too smart to be 'Merican.
I hope Trump doesn't put the Pillow guy there
Over / Under on Trump’s name included on the list?
Pathetic Trump, history will not be kind.
He was born in Sudbury, Ontario.
Alex Trebek is a great guy, but seriously, a game show host is a hero?
Should we tell him? 😂
I’m quite sure that Alex Trebek would NOT be flattered to be any part of Donald Trumps garden of American hero’s. Besides, he is CANADIAN!
He is Canadian and an American.
He’s CANADIAN! 🇨🇦
But he’s Canadian
He is Canadian, no?
MSM will somehow say this is a bad thing!
Sooooo who’s going to tell El Cheeto Trebek is Canadian?
He doesnt deserve to have the trump name attached to him. He does deserve the honour
Wow. I can’t think of anything wrong with that.😊
It might go down as the best decision Trump made in his 4 years in office. 🇨🇦
Honoured Canadian 'American Heroes' (rightly so) wonder if any Canadians are honoured in the 'Garden of Pardons'?
I seriously doubt that Trump sat through an entire episode of Jeopardy! Maybe for Final Jeopardy because he (like many of us) like the tune 📺🎶
Well that just ain't right. How come Gary and Annika get medals of freedom and our favorite Canadian son only gets a hedge bush, not even a rose bush. NOT FAIR tRUMP
Back off Trump! He's ours😂😂😂
Like his healthcare plan, this will never happen.
Who’s gonna tell him?
See he wanted an immigrant in the garden if american heroes!!! He wasn't racist ahahha
I have news....... 🇨🇦
...he's Canadian...
Isn’t he Canadian?
Well its about time he makes a good choice
It ain't happening 😂🤣
Keep Alex away from anything related to Trump. He would NOT want it.
Imagine trump on jeopardy...the dumbest guy entire studio.
Its like hes aware that he destroys everything he touches and uses it as a weapon
Yeah I am an American, but Alex Trebek is from my other favorite (favourite) country just to the north of Minnesota
The TDS is strong with the comments. How unhinged do you have to be to throw a fit over a park dedicated to exceptional people who have had a positive impact over their lifetime?
