    Teddy Roosevelt: And one last thing, no statues! Equestrian or otherwise! Roosevelt Stans: C'mon. Just one statue. TR: No! Stans: You'll be on a horse, with a Native and Black guy standing at your side TR: Fuck no! Stans: And we'll blast your face on the side of a mountainhttps://twitter.com/rauchway/status/1275517611485171712 …

        Maybe he just really wanted lots of wooden carvings of himself? Lots of TR totem poles or something?

        If he gave those instructions, they were pretty much ignored. Here's from just weeks after his death. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Harvard_Alumni_Bulletin/JinPAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=stone+theodore+roosevelt+statue+instructions+bronze&pg=PA428&printsec=frontcover …pic.twitter.com/Hm0vpcFRpX

        "It is an interesting fact that nine out of every ten proposals deal with some form of memorial other than the traditional monument of stone or bronze." I dunno, kinda seems like they got it. The person writing in didn't seem to know the reason why though.

        You know who else agrees with “no statues.” The God in the Bible book people say they follow. That book is not a big fan of idols.

        Albert Pike, who's statue was torn down in DC last week, also explicitly said he didn't want any statues or memorials erected to him.
