Florida Republican Introduces Bill To Add Trump's Face To Mount Rushmore

LOADING ERROR LOADING A Republican lawmaker has introduced a bill that would add President Donald Trump’s face to Mount Rushmore. “Let’s get carving!” Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posted on X Tuesday after introducing legislation she said would recognize what she called Trump’s “remarkable accomplishments” and “the success he will continue to deliver.” “President Trump’s bold leadership and steadfast dedication to America’s greatness have cemented his place in history,” Luna wrote in a statement. “He will be forever remembered among the great like Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.” These four presidents were selected to have their likeness carved into the South Dakota granite by artist Gutzon Borglum because, in his view, they represented “the most important events in the history of the United States,” according to the National Park Service, which also acknowledges that the project disregarded the site’s cultural significance for local tribes.
