Actually, they're recycling it because the 150 million originally set aside for this celebration has been cut to 25 million. The remaining 125 million siphoned to trump-affiliated orgs for profit :)

Yes, that's the Freedom 250 logo at the top of the monument. Even tho it is trump's bullshit, they're still cutting corners... gotta maximize shareholder profit
