This needs to happen.
On a recent segment of Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered,” a lively discussion took place about the possibility of President Donald Trump one day being added to Mount Rushmore. Panelists expressed strong support for the idea, highlighting Trump’s transformative impact on the country and his unwavering commitment to putting America first.
Former GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz (Utah) weighed in, saying, “If there’s room up there, I think it’d be great. What President Trump has done for America, and continues to do, is reshaping the nation in a way that puts our interests first, and the American people love it. There’s a compelling case for it.” Chaffetz’s enthusiasm reflects the sentiment of many conservative Americans who see Trump as a leader who revitalized the economy, restored strength to the military, and reasserted American sovereignty on the global stage.
Kayleigh McEnany, who served as Trump’s White House Press Secretary, also voiced her support, noting the irony of such a move after President Joe Biden halted the Fourth of July fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. “Imagine if, for the 250th anniversary of our nation, President Trump’s face was added to that iconic monument,” McEnany said. “That would be truly epic.”
Some panelists went further, suggesting other ways to honor Trump’s legacy. Fox contributor Lisa Boothe proposed renaming Dulles International Airport after him, drawing parallels between Trump and Ronald Reagan. “Both presidents inherited an economy in turmoil and a world in disarray, and both took decisive action to rebuild and create prosperity,” Boothe explained.
Trump himself has expressed admiration for Mount Rushmore in the past, even hinting in 2019 that his face might one day be added to the monument. With his enduring popularity among conservatives and his reshaping of the nation’s political landscape, it’s clear that for many, President Trump’s legacy will continue to be a source of national pride for years to come.
